We have a brand new activity for your kids! Peek & Find is a great activity for for Tot Schoolers, Preschoolers, Kindergarteners and beyond. There are a few variations to this activity can easily grow with your child’s ability!
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, available in color or BW…
The “PEEK” cards…
Print the board, selecting color for younger kids to make it easier and selecting BW for older kids to make it more difficult. Print the cards, on cardstock if possible and cut them out. Laminate if you plan to use these cards repeatedly.

A few options for play…
Option #1 {single player}
Print the Peek & Find board.
Print the cards and cut out.
Mix up the cards, choose one at a time and find the object on the Peek & Find board. Color, circle, or mark the object.
If you have an artistic child who loves to color, challenge him/her to copy the colors and color the board to match the cards!
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}
Hid 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!
