Tips for I Spy Fun

Give each child a different colored crayon to circle what they find.
Make it a race: who can finish the Easy page first?
Little ones can just point and say the names out loud.
Slip the pages into sheet protectors and use dry-erase markers to play again.

How do you play Christmas I Spy?

Look at all the Christmas pictures in the big box at the top of the page. Find every picture that matches the one at the bottom, count them, and write the number in the empty box next to it.

Younger kids can color each picture as they count it so they do not count it twice. When everyone is done, check the answers on the answer key page!

How to Make Your Printables Last Year After Year

Want to use these I Spy pages again and again? Print them on sturdy cardstock and run them through a laminator, or slip each page into a clear sheet protector. Then use dry-erase markers and simply wipe them clean when you are done. Store them in a folder and they will be ready for next Christmas!
