I Spy Activity Sheets for Basic Categories MEGA-Bundle

I Spy activities are a fun and playful way to build essential skills. Hunting for pictures in a busy image allows children to expand their ability to scan and visually discriminate based on an object's features. Also, children build working memory skills by holding onto specific information needed to complete a task. This includes looking at a picture and finding it within a scene. Finally, these I Spy Mats provide children with exposure to basic categorization and picture/word correspondence.
