Let’s go through each picture one by one and ask: “Does this word start with the ‘H’ sound?”
We’re looking for words that begin with the letter H — like “hat,” “horse,” or “house.”
Here’s what we find:
✔ Hat – starts with H
✘ Curtains – starts with C
✔ Hot air balloon – starts with H (hot)
✔ Helicopter – starts with H
✘ Mushroom – starts with M
✔ Horse – starts with H
✔ House – starts with H
✘ Hockey stick – starts with H? Wait — “hockey” DOES start with H! So yes, include it.
✔ Hospital – starts with H
✘ Yarn – starts with Y
✔ Heart – starts with H
✔ Hot dog – starts with H
✔ Helmet – starts with H
✘ Hamster – starts with H? Yes! “Hamster” begins with H → include it
✔ Hippo – short for hippopotamus → starts with H
✔ Flashlight – wait, no — “flashlight” starts with F. But look again — is there a flashlight? Actually, in the image, it’s drawn as a beam of light from a tube — but the object is called a “flashlight,” which starts with F. So NOT an H word.
Wait — let me double-check: Is there another name? No. So skip it.
✔ Haystack – starts with H
✘ Whale – starts with W
✘ Rose – starts with R
✔ Hamburger – starts with H
✘ Lobster – starts with L
✔ Hand – starts with H
✔ Hammer – starts with H
✘ Honey jar – “honey” starts with H! So YES — include it
✘ Pirate – starts with P
✘ Egg – starts with E
✔ Harp – starts with H
✘ Ambulance – starts with A
✘ Star – starts with S
✘ Drum – starts with D
✘ Dog bowl – “dog” starts with D
✔ Hot chocolate – “hot” starts with H → include it
✘ Socks – starts with S
Wait — let’s list all the ones that DO start with H:
1. Hat
2. Hot air balloon
3. Helicopter
4. Horse
5. House
6. Hockey stick (“hockey”)
7. Hospital
8. Heart
9. Hot dog
10. Helmet
11. Hamster
12. Hippo
13. Haystack
14. Hamburger
15. Hand
16. Hammer
17. Honey (jar)
18. Harp
19. Hot chocolate
That’s 19 items.
But wait — did I miss any? Let’s scan again quickly:
- The number 9? Not a word starting with H.
- The mushroom? No.
- The yarn? No.
- The whale? No.
- The rose? No.
- The lobster? No.
- The pirate? No.
- The egg? No.
- The ambulance? No.
- The star? No.
- The drum? No.
- The dog bowl? No.
- The socks? No.
Also — the flashlight? We said no — because “flashlight” starts with F.
What about the “hand”? Yes — included.
And “harp”? Yes.
“Hot chocolate”? Yes — because “hot” starts with H.
So total = 19 images to color.
Final Answer:
Color these 19 pictures: hat, hot air balloon, helicopter, horse, house, hockey stick, hospital, heart, hot dog, helmet, hamster, hippo, haystack, hamburger, hand, hammer, honey jar, harp, and hot chocolate.
