About Spot the Difference
Two grids of little pictures sit one above the other, and they match except for one square. Your child compares them picture by picture and taps the odd one in either grid. Depending on the level, the change is big, like a cookie that turned into a puppy, or as small as a clock hand that moved.
How to play
- Look at the top grid and the bottom grid.
- Find the one square that does not match and tap it.
- On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and press Space.
What your child practices
- Careful looking
- Comparing pictures
- Telling similar things apart
- Attention to detail
