Cut and Paste

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a shadow matching activity where children are asked to cut out colored pictures of various objects and animals from the bottom of the page and match them to their corresponding black silhouettes at the top. The images include a variety of recognizable shapes such as animals and food. The task is to identify the shape of the shadow and then find the colored image that matches it, pasting the image over its shadow to complete the match.

The worksheet aims to develop a child’s visual discrimination skills by having them recognize and match the shapes of the images with their shadows. It also works on fine motor skills through the cutting and pasting activity. Additionally, the exercise encourages cognitive development by requiring the child to analyze and solve which colored image corresponds to which silhouette. The satisfaction of finding the correct matches can also provide a sense of achievement, as indicated by the “How Did You Do?” section with emoticon-based feedback at the bottom of the page.
