Spot the Difference

What your child learns

• Looking closely and comparing two pictures part by part
• Noticing changes in color, size, position and objects
• Focus and patience to find them all
• Naming everyday things in a park, garden, playroom, beach and kitchen

How to play

1. Press "Play now". Two pictures appear side by side (stacked on a phone).
2. Tap a difference on either picture. When you find one, it gets circled on both pictures.
3. Find all the differences (the dots below) to finish the picture, then a new one appears.
4. Stuck? When the light bulb button glows, tap it for a hint. On a computer, the arrow keys and Enter work too.

For parents

• The first pictures have just 3 obvious differences on big objects; as your child gets better, there are up to 6 slightly subtler ones.
• Every difference is big and clear, never a tiny detail, and easily confused colors (red and green) are never used for color changes.
• Tapping at random brings a short pause before the next tap counts, which encourages looking before tapping.
• Ask "What changed here?" so your child practices describing it: bigger, a new color, gone, or moved.
