A little about this puzzle

An adult threads a thick rope end through an open loop while a child steadies a knotting board with their left hand. A foreground knotting table, a crockery sideboard on the right, and a rear materials table create three search areas in the Christmas workshop. Rounded forms and festive folk motifs decorate the clothing and objects. This L2 puzzle is designed with ages 7–9 in mind and contains eight objects: a knotting board, cotton twine ball, scissors, napkin, chopstick rest, plate, tassel, and wooden comb. The footer shows the objects in that order. No physical print trial or child playtest has been conducted. Choose the Color or Line art image, use the picture clues to find each object, and keep the Answer key separate until you are ready to check. The three images can be printed or saved as PDF using your browser.
