Let's solve this "Which doesn't belong?" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
identify the item in each row that does not belong with the others, and then
draw an X through it. The rest of the items in each row should be colored (though we can't color here, we’ll identify which ones belong).

Items:
- Saw
- Dinosaur (cartoon)
- Screwdriver
- Hammer

👉 Draw an
X through the dinosaur. Color the saw, screwdriver, and hammer.
