Valentine’s Day Same vs Different Dab & Color

$3.00

Find the ones that match, and the one that doesn’t. Five levels of valentine’s day dab-and-color look-and-find, from spotting the odd one out to scanning a busy page.

What’s inside

  • 12 pages: a cover, a how-to page for grown-ups, five levels in color and the same pages in black and white
  • Level 1, One That’s Different: three pictures are the same, so dab and color the one that is not
  • Level 2, Dab the Matches: dab the dot under every picture that matches the key
  • Level 3, Same or Different?: look at each pair and dab “same” or “different”
  • Level 4, The Candy Hunt: dab every candy you can find
  • Level 5, The Candy Box: dab only the hearts, not the heart donuts

Skills it builds

  • Visual discrimination: spotting same and different at a glance
  • Form constancy: a picture is still the same picture in a new place
  • Visual scanning without losing the spot
  • Focus and attention to detail

How to use

Print the color pages for the first round and the black-and-white pages to repeat. Level 1 is the easiest, and every level after it gets trickier. If a child rushes, slow them down with a quiet “point first, then dab.” Tracking with a finger before marking builds the left-to-right habit that reading leans on later. A bingo dabber is the favorite, but a cotton swab snapped in half (the short stub nudges a neat tripod grasp), a crayon, stickers or fingertip-paint dots work too. Prep time: 1 minute.

You’ll need

Dot markers, or a cotton swab, crayons, stickers or washable paint. A sheet protector is optional.
