Peek & Find Arctic Animals

February 19, 2022

We have a new Peek & Find printable game for kids featuring 20 different Arctic Animals! Peek & Find is a great activity for Tot Schoolers, Preschoolers, Kindergarteners, and beyond! There are a few variations to this activity that can easily grow with your child’s ability! Peek and Find is great for developing visual discrimination skills.

You can also add in some fun elements to the activity, or simply print, cut, and play! Below I will share the free printable, ideas for different levels of play, and fun variations.

There are two main elements of the Peek & Find activity.

The “FIND” boards {without words for younger kids, with words for a more advanced version}…

The “PEEK” cards…

Print the board you choose. Print the cards, on cardstock if possible, and cut them out. Laminate if you plan to use these cards repeatedly.

Option #2 {2 or more players}

Print a Peek & Find board for each player and one set of cards. Cut out the cards.

Flip over a card and race to see who finds the object first on their board. Using Dot Paint with this game is fun!

Winner keeps the card.

Person with the most cards at the end is the winner!

Option #3 {sensory, fine motor activity}

Create a sensory bin and bury the cards.

Use a fine motor tool {child tweezers} to dig for cards and pull them out and then find the object on the Peek & Find board and mark it.

Option #4 {gross motor activity}

Hide the cards around the room and challenge your child to find one card at a time and bring it back to the board, find it, mark it, and repeat! This is a great version for those of you with energetic younger kids!
