Of the dozens (if not hundreds) of games where you have to create a path from broken pipe pieces, Connectica stands out as a good choice for kids due to its simplicity and lack of time-pressure.
It has 25 stages (yes, we played them all) gradually increasing in difficulty; but none of them is frustrating, so even your pre-teen kid could finish all of them. The objective is to create a connected path from the starting point to one (or two or three) end points by rearranging broken pipe pieces on a grid. We recommend turning down the (rather loud) music before starting a game. Most of the stages can be completed without using all pieces, and you can upload your high scores after completing the game. This is the perfect warm-up puzzle for your future hardcore-puzzler child!

Gameplay: Drag the pipe pieces and simply drop them where you want them.
