A little about this puzzle

In a harbor nature center gallery, a mentor points toward the nearshore waves. One visitor watches through the opening while another marks observations in a notebook with a pencil. A sand timer stands at the left of the table, a ruler lies near the edge and a clipboard rests beside the chair. A thermometer, model sailboat and bottle are also visible. 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.

Make it your own

Use the three-page print layout: Color on page 1, Line art on page 2 and Answer key on page 3. Choose your printer or Save as PDF in the print dialog. For A4 paper, choose Fit to page.

Try it together at home, as a calm classroom activity, or as a quiet travel companion. Keep the Answer key separate until you are ready to check.
