Step-by-step solution for: Free Preschool Printable - Find the Mistakes - Worksheet -1
Let’s carefully compare the two pictures to find the 6 mistakes.
We’ll go part by part — top to bottom, left to right — and note every difference.
---
1. The Sun
- In the first picture: sun is in the top left.
- In the second picture: sun is in the top right.
→ That’s mistake #1.
---
2. The Word “SCHOOL” on the building
- First picture: has the word “SCHOOL” written in red under the clock.
- Second picture: no word there.
→ Mistake #2.
---
3. The Pathway Stones
Look at the stones on the path leading to the school door.
- First picture: stones are arranged with more gaps, and some stones are missing near the bottom.
- Second picture: stones are more packed together, especially near the bottom — it looks like a solid line of stones.
Actually, let’s count or look closer:
Wait — better way: Look at the shape of the stone path.
In the first image, the path has irregular spacing — you can see green grass between some stones.
In the second image, the stones are drawn as if they’re connected or too close, making the path look different.
But actually, here’s a clearer difference:
→ In the first picture, the bottom row of stones has only 3 stones visible before the sidewalk.
→ In the second picture, there are 4 stones in that same spot.
That’s a clear visual difference → Mistake #3.

4. The Bushes (Green Shrubs)
There are bushes on both sides of the path.
Left side bush:
- First picture: bush is round and full.
- Second picture: bush is smaller and less round — almost squished.
Right side bush:
- First picture: bush is larger and fuller.
- Second picture: bush is smaller and more oval.
So both bushes changed → but wait, maybe we should count them as two separate mistakes? Or one category?
Actually, let’s check the original instruction: “artist has made 6 mistakes”. So each distinct change counts.
But let’s list all differences clearly:
Bush on LEFT:
- Shape/size changed → Mistake #4.
Bush on RIGHT:
- Shape/size changed → Mistake #5.
Wait — that might be overcounting. Let’s recheck.
Actually, looking again:
In the first image:
- Left bush: big, round, with little white dots (flowers?).
- Right bush: also big, round, with white dots.
In the second image:
- Left bush: smaller, fewer white dots.
- Right bush: smaller, fewer white dots.
So both bushes are different → that’s two changes.
But maybe the artist changed the *pattern* of the bushes — so perhaps it’s considered one type of error? No — since they are two separate objects, changing each is a separate mistake.
Hold on — let’s look for other obvious ones first.

5. The Girl’s Shoes
Girl on the right (with pigtails):
- First picture: she is wearing pink shoes.
- Second picture: she is wearing blue shoes.
→ Mistake #6? Wait, we already have 5? Let’s recount.
Let me make a clean list:
✔ Mistake 1: Sun position (left vs right)
✔ Mistake 2: “SCHOOL” text missing in second image
✔ Mistake 3: Stone path — number or arrangement differs (specifically, bottom stones: 3 vs 4)
✔ Mistake 4: Left bush — size/shape/dots different
✔ Mistake 5: Right bush — size/shape/dots different
✔ Mistake 6: Girl’s shoe color — pink vs blue
Yes! That’s six.
Wait — what about the boy? His clothes? He’s wearing yellow shirt and blue shorts in both — same.
Clock? Same time? Both show 3 o’clock — same.
Trees? Same number, same apples? Yes — trees look identical.
Grass? Same.
Sidewalk? Same.
So yes — the six mistakes are:
1. Sun moved from left to right.
2. “SCHOOL” text removed.
3. Stone path altered (extra stone or different pattern).
4. Left bush changed.
5. Right bush changed.
6. Girl’s shoes changed color.
Perfect — that’s six.
Final Answer:
The 6 mistakes are:
1. The sun is in the top left in the first picture but top right in the second.
2. The word "SCHOOL" is missing in the second picture.
3. The stone path has a different pattern — specifically, an extra stone at the bottom in the second picture.
4. The left bush is smaller and has fewer flowers in the second picture.
5. The right bush is also smaller and has fewer flowers in the second picture.
6. The girl’s shoes are pink in the first picture but blue in the second.
We’ll go part by part — top to bottom, left to right — and note every difference.
