About shadow matching worksheets

Shadow matching asks kids to look at outlines rather than colors and details. Each puzzle has a column of pictures and a column of black shadows, and kids draw a line to connect each picture to its shadow. A solved example pair shows the way.

Preschoolers match three pairs, kindergarteners match four, and first and second graders match five shadows from the same animal family, where the outlines look more alike and careful looking matters. Each page starts with a solved example pair. New pictures appear with every print.
