Let me carefully examine the image to identify all the objects and determine which ones start with the
W sound.
The instruction says: *Only color the things that start with W sound.*
I need to go through each item and check its name’s beginning sound — specifically the
/w/ sound (as in “water”, not just the letter W).
List of items in the image (from top left, row by row):
1. Slice of watermelon → starts with
/w/ sound
✔
2. Bee → /b/
✘
3. Wave (ocean wave) → /w/
✔
4. Whale → /w/
✔
5. Hamburger → /h/
✘
6. Fan (hand fan) → /f/
✘
7. Wings → /w/
✔
8. Letter “Ww” in center — this is the target letter, but it's not an object to color; it's a guide.
9. Wheel (car wheel) → /w/
✔
10. Watch → /w/
✔
11. Apple → /a/
✘
12. Carrot → /k/
✘
13. Wolf → /w/
✔
14. Wig (on mannequin head) → /w/
✔
15. Car → /k/
✘
Wait — let me double-check each one for correct pronunciation:
- Watermelon → /ˈwɔːtərmɛlən/ → starts with
/w/ ✔
- Bee → /biː/ → /b/
✘
- Wave → /weɪv/ → /w/
✔
- Whale → /weɪl/ → /w/
✔
- Hamburger → /ˈhæmbɜːɡər/ → /h/
✘
- Fan (paper fan) → /fæn/ → /f/
✘
- Wings → /wɪŋz/ → /w/
✔
- Wheel → /wiːl/ → /w/
✔
- Watch → /wɒtʃ/ → /w/
✔
- Apple → /ˈæpl/ → /æ/
✘
- Carrot → /ˈkærət/ → /k/
✘
- Wolf → /wʊlf/ → /w/
✔
- Wig → /wɪɡ/ → /w/
✔
- Car → /kɑːr/ → /k/
✘
Also, there’s a small leaf/vine swirl near the apple — likely decorative, not a named object.
So the items that start with the
W sound are:
- Watermelon
- Wave
- Whale
- Wings
- Wheel
- Watch
- Wolf
- Wig
That’s
8 items.
But wait — is “wheel” considered a separate object from the car? Yes, it's drawn separately as a standalone wheel, so it counts.
Also, confirm: Is “wig” clearly depicted? Yes — a wig on a mannequin head.
No other ambiguous items.
Final list of items to color (i.e., those starting with /w/ sound):
1. Watermelon
2. Wave
3. Whale
4. Wings
5. Wheel
6. Watch
7. Wolf
8. Wig
✔ All 8 start with the /w/ sound.
Final Answer:
Watermelon, wave, whale, wings, wheel, watch, wolf, wig
