How to use it

Set out crayons or colored pencils and look at the whole picture together first. Talk about what is being colored to practice the words that go with it. It is one of the harder sheets for Grade 8, best once the basics of the skill are secure.

An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.

Tip for grown-ups: Copy one square at a time and count squares across and down to stay in place.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
