Heya.
I wanna introduce a little kid to non aritmetic maths, is there any good source of problems for kids?
Im trying to demonstrate to him that numbers aren't the only thing in maths.
So, if you can post any logical or projective (for kids oO) problem, it will be really cool!
Ty all =)

Look for a book entitled "Solve This" by James Tanton. It's a wonderful book full of problems both number-based and geometrical.
But then, I'm slightly biased regarding that book and James Tanton in general.
Graph theory problems would be a good place to start: you know the Konigsberg bridges problem? That one is fun.
Or the three utilities, three houses problem is nice.

I recall a book called "The Number Devil" I read when I was younger. It's not really a book of problems so much as a story though, which deals with a lot of maths related things.
Personally, when I was trying to teach my younger sister maths I just made problems up.
