I think. But try it first! Its tough
 
I did it, took me about 10-15 tries though.
 
Wow, that's quite difficult for kindergarten... I don't know if I could have done that when I was that young. The major point being though, that nothing even near that complicated was given to me in till much later.

I admit I had to use the first 2 hints to actually solve it...from there it took me 3 tries to get it right. :smile:
 
i think its wrong anyway, i think its 35642...
 
2nd grade??!

Here in the US we give that test to our kids at 13 months! And it proves a lot for them to just keep trying it until it work!
 
Got it in three. Here's the simple rule:

Don't make a jump that puts two of the same frogs next to each other (until the end, of course).
 
I took about 8 times to do it...nice puzzle, do u have any more?
