There are two different pages: one where your child colors the different image and one where your child colors the two images that are the same. For more winter themed learning fun, make sure to grab these additional free printables while you're here on The Artisan Life:

How to use different and the same worksheets

These pages are great for coloring, but your child can also circle their selection or mark it with a manipulative (like a pompom). My daughter usually prefers coloring the pictures.

You can make the pages reusable for multiple uses. This is a great choice for classroom centers. You can do this by laminating, using dry erase pockets, or utilizing page protectors.

If you want to use page protectors, I recommend heavy duty "secure" page protectors with a flap to hold the paper inside. Regular, thin page protectors don't stand up well to repeated use.

The heavy duty page protectors can stand up to more enthusiastic use. The flap is also very helpful because it keeps the page from sliding out and getting rumpled or written on.

I prefer Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 pencils over dry or wet erase markers. There's no ink and no stink! They also don't erase themselves as you continue to write or color, which means you can make reusable coloring pages. See this post with dinosaur coloring pages for a video demo.

Laminated pages and dry erase pockets cost slightly more and the pages can be harder to organize. They're also more durable, though, so those are good options for classroom use.

However you decide to prepare the sheets, the basic way of using them is the same. Your child or student looks at the box to determine which image is the different or which pair of images are the same.

The selections on the second page are more difficult. Your child will have to play attention to the details!
