Illustrating an Observation Record

A little about this puzzle

An educator joins two children in a public classroom overlooking an elephant enclosure through glass. A girl sketches an elephant with a pencil on a clipboard while a boy watches. An open animal guide rests on the shared table beside an elephant footprint cast and a measuring tape. A route display, a sand timer and an animal puzzle board complete the learning area. A backpack hangs at the right, with a water bottle on a shelf and a ball-tipped teaching pointer leaning beside the table. Find ten distinct objects: observation clipboard, pencil, animal guide, animal footprint cast, measuring tape, animal puzzle board, sand timer, water bottle, backpack, and teaching pointer. Footer labels use short equivalents such as Clipboard, Footprint cast, Animal puzzle and Pointer. The color page presents the full scene. The line-art page supplies black outlines for searching and coloring. The answer page colors the target objects and their matching icons while the rest of the scene remains black and white. Catalog: ages 10–12, difficulty L2; Fine Botanical and Decorative Line Art. 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.
