Matching & Sorting

Shadow Match

Find the shadow that belongs to each picture. Mirrored and tipped over at harder settings.

Pictures on one side, their black shadows on the other. Every shadow is the filled-in version of the very same drawing, so the answer is always there to be found by looking at the outline. Difficulty decides how far the shadow has been moved: at Easy it faces the same way as its picture, at Medium about half are mirrored, and at Hard they are mirrored, tipped over and shrunk, which forces a child to turn the shape over in their head. Three layouts suit different pages: two columns to join with lines, a top and bottom band, or letters to write in boxes.
