About this worksheet

A mystery picture on an 8 by 10 grid. Kids color 38 squares named like B3 or E7 (letter for the column, number for the row) and an ice cream cone with two scoops and a cherry appears. The answer key is on page 2. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7.

Tips for using it

Copy one square at a time and check where each line enters and leaves the square before you draw.
Draw lightly in pencil first; when the whole picture is in place, trace over it and color it.
Turn the example picture upside down for a challenge: it stops your brain from guessing and makes you copy what you really see.
