About the matching worksheets

Colourful pictures on the left, black shadows in a jumbled order on the right. Children look at the shape of each picture and draw a line to the shadow that matches. Shadow matching builds shape recognition and visual memory.

Frequently asked questions

What age is shadow matching for?

About ages 2½ to 5. Start with four pictures and move up to six.

Will I get a new sheet each time?

Puzzles like I spy, mazes and differences change every time you tap “Make a new one”. Colouring pictures stay the same.

Is the matching worksheets free?

Yes, free to print with no signup or watermark. You can also switch off the small atifo.app credit.

Which paper should I use?

Ordinary A4 or US Letter paper works. Use thicker paper for cut-and-paste pages and bingo cards you want to reuse.
