Why I SPY?

“I Spy” activities are a fun way to build important early learning skills while keeping kids engaged.

As children search for each object, they practice visual discrimination, attention to detail, counting, concentration, and problem-solving. You can also talk about the Christmas story as children name the pictures they find.

These puzzles are a sweet addition to Sunday school, homeschool lessons, church gatherings, or Christmas activities at home.

To keep everything organized, this activity set is broken into easy, medium, and hard sections, each with its own heading. A solution page is included in the PDF file so kids can check their answers or get help when needed.

The ages below are a guide. Let your child choose a level they enjoy, and feel free to join in!
