About this worksheet
Four apple trees, balloon bunches, flowers, birthday cakes, houses or dice in each row: they look the same until you count the apples, balloons, petals, candles, windows or dots. One picture has one more or one less, and kids count to find it. The answer key is on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.
Tips for using it
- Start with the pre-K pages where the different picture is a different thing, then move to the small differences.
- Ask why after every answer; naming the difference (color, size, way it faces) builds vocabulary.
- Cover all rows but one with a sheet of paper so younger kids focus on a single row.
- On the details page, count out loud and touch each spot or petal; the different one has one more or one less.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
