Compare two bakery scenes and look for six changes in each picture pair. One puzzle shows a bread rack beneath a striped awning; the other uses a glass-front pastry counter. The activity sheets and circled answers are separate, so you can offer one page at a time and keep the solution aside.

Print a Puzzle and Keep the Answers Aside
Choose A4 or US Letter for your paper and print in portrait orientation. Use actual size / 100% for the intended layout. The complete four-page PDF contains two activity pages followed by their two answer pages. The activities-only file has both puzzles; the answers-only file has both solutions. Choose the complete file or the separate files, so you do not print duplicates.
Give the child a pencil and one activity sheet. Each page has picture A above picture B. Find six changed places and circle them in B. Nothing needs to be cut out or assembled. Work directly on the printed sheet, or point to each change together if you would rather leave the page unmarked.
Puzzle One: the Bread Rack
The first scene has a pink-and-cream striped awning above two wooden shelves. A croissant, round loaf and baguette occupy the top row. A pretzel, cupcake and fruit tart sit below. Compare matching positions from left to right before moving to the next shelf.
For a gentle hint, ask the child to compare how many loaves are on the top shelf. For a different kind of clue, ask which way the long baguette leans. Keep the rest of the answer list covered until the child wants it. The changes concern the displayed food and its details, rather than tiny words on shop signs.
Puzzle Two: the Pastry Counter
The second scene puts the pastries behind a broad brown counter frame with a pale glass front. Three groups of simple round shapes sit above the display. Inside, the upper row again holds croissant, loaf and baguette; the lower row has pretzel, cupcake and fruit tart.
Follow the same positions in A and B. If the child keeps looking at the background, bring attention back to a single food item, such as the cupcake wrapper. The counter picture is a separate puzzle, but it uses the same six kinds of food changes as the bread-rack page. It is useful for another round with a familiar search pattern.
Answers: All Six Changed Places
On both pages, the six answer regions run left to right across the upper food row, then left to right across the lower row:
- The croissant turns diagonally.
- One round loaf becomes two.
- The baguette slopes the opposite way.
- One pretzel becomes two.
- A star appears on the cupcake wrapper.
- The fruit-tart topping faces the opposite way.
The corresponding answer sheet circles all six regions in picture B and numbers them in that order. Compare each marked place with the same position in A. Count a changed food region once: the two loaves together are one answer, rather than two separate differences. If a child finds only five, check the wrapper and fruit topping after the larger count changes.
Make the Search Manageable
Let the child finish the first page before offering the second. You can cover the lower row with scrap paper while comparing the top row, then move the cover down. For shared play, take turns naming one change and pointing to its partner in the other picture. Stop after the six regions have been found, and use the solution page to check rather than adding extra changes to the target.
