About this worksheet
Here are two pictures of a sunny beach with a sailboat, a striped umbrella, a sandcastle, a beach ball and a crab. In the bottom one, 5 things are not the same as in the top one. Every change is a big object, so even 4-year-olds can find them. Tick a circle for every find, then color the scenes. The answer key on page 2 circles and lists each difference. Easy puzzles build confidence before moving to bigger grids.
Tips for using it
- Scan in a pattern: compare the top left corner of both pictures, then move across and down, so no part gets skipped.
- Check the sky and the edges too; changes often hide away from the main character.
- Say what you see out loud (three candles, two candles) to catch changes in numbers.
Printing tips
