How to do a hidden pictures puzzle

Look at the pictures along the bottom of the page first: these are the things hidden in the scene. Each one is drawn into the picture as something else, so a spoon might be a branch on a tree and a heart might be two bent blades of grass. When you find one, circle it and tick its box.

Stuck? Look at one part of the scene at a time (the sky, a tree, the ground) and turn the page around: hidden objects are often tilted.

Why kids like it, and why it helps

Hidden pictures train careful looking: holding a shape in mind and spotting it among lines that mean something else, and sticking with a search until it is done. The scenes are line art, so they can be colored in afterwards.

More puzzles to do alone: spot the difference, I Spy sheets and the activity sheets, with one of every kind of puzzle.

Questions

What is a hidden pictures puzzle?

A busy line-art scene with everyday objects tucked into the drawing: a pencil that is also a plank on a barn door, a banana that is also a palm leaf. The pictures along the bottom show what to look for. Find each one, circle it and tick its box.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Page 2 of every PDF is the same sheet with all ten hidden objects circled.

What age are these for?

Kindergarten to grade 2, about ages 5 to 8. Each scene mixes a few easy finds with a few that take a careful look, so younger children get quick wins and older ones still have to search.

Can I print these for my class?

Yes. They are free to print for your own classroom or your own children.
