Free printable shadow matching worksheets for preschool

Each row shows a picture and a few black shadows. Children look carefully and circle the shadow that matches the picture.

Easy uses three very different shadows. Hard uses four shadows from the same kind of thing — a cat next to a dog, for example — so the child has to look at the shape, not just the topic.

About

A visual-discrimination generator built from a curated pool of Font Awesome objects. Every sheet picks a fresh set of pictures and shuffles the shadow choices, so the same child can practise many times without memorising a fixed page.

Ages 3–5 · Preschool, Kindergarten

How to Use

  1. Choose Easy (3 distinct shadows), Medium, or Hard (4 similar shadows).
  2. Pick 4, 5 or 6 rows to match how much your child can do in one sitting.
  3. Click New Shadows for a fresh mix.
  4. Optional: type the child’s name and the date in the sheet header.
  5. Click Print Worksheet. Ask your child to circle the matching shadow in each row.

Print tip: Shadows print as solid black silhouettes — they stay clear on a black-and-white printer. Six Hard rows is the densest sheet; check print preview for younger children and drop to 4 rows if the shadows look tight.
