About this worksheet
The top and bottom pictures both show a birthday party with a layer cake, balloons tied to a present, a cat in a party hat and paper bunting, but 5 details changed. Little ones look for big, bold changes like a missing or extra object. 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. Try a ginger tabby, a black cat or a calico.
Tips for using it
- Color the inside of the ears pink.
- 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
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. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
