Printable Visual Perceptual Worksheets
These printable visual perceptual worksheets can be used to supplement hands-on activities as part of your child's visual perceptual development.
I highly recommend all the resources on this page because I have used them myself for years with my own kids at home as well as in therapy situations. I've identified the visual perceptual skills that each printable pack focuses on and I've also given some tips to help you get the most out of each printable.
Honesty Point: All the printables are created by Your Therapy Source, and I am an affiliate for them because I love their resources! I receive a small commission for each sale which helps supports my site. Clicking on the "Add to cart" button will take you to their site where you can complete your purchase.
If you are at all concerned about your child's visual perceptual skills, please request an occupational therapy evaluation. Use of the visual perceptual worksheets on this page is NOT a substitute for occupational therapy intervention!
So, without further ado, here are my favorite printable visual perceptual worksheets for kids:
Patterns, Patterns, Patterns
One of the best value-for-money books with more than 50 worksheets that address a whole range of visual perceptual skills.
Patterns of objects make up the majority of the worksheets (hence the name!)
Only $4.99!
The first 8 pages of visual discrimination worksheets involve visually scanning from left to right in order to find the given items, so I would recommend that you sit opposite your child to make sure he/she is scanning to find the objects and not jumping all over the place visually.
There are worksheets that require figure-ground perception and visual closure. There are quite a few worksheets that practice visual-motor skills.
If your child has poor pencil skills: he/she can point out the answers, or trace with their fingers.
more than 50 different visual perception worksheets!There are visual motor puzzles in grid format where the child needs to copy lines or shapes in a grid. These are suitable for older kids to draw, but for younger kids or for those who have poor pencil skills, I prefer to adjust the activity as follows:
I make 2 copies of each page, and cut out one set of the images and then have the child position the pictures on the grid as shown alongside. This works on spatial perception as well as matching skills.
Size: 3 MB
Printing: All pages are in black & white. You may
reprint this resource as often as you need to.
Have your child recreate the grid to build spatial perception skillsIncluded in the Mini and Mega Visual Perceptual Bundles and in the Visual Motor Bundle at a 30% discount!
This is a worthwhile download that deserves laminating to be reused over and over again!
There are 20 reproducible Graphing Games (10 themes containing 2 graphs each) in lovely detail that can be used to promote math skills, form constancy, visual closure and visual discrimination skills.
Place the picture correctly in the graphSize: 7 MB
Printing: These activity
pages deserve to be printed in color (and laminated), but can be used
in black/white to increase the visual perceptual skills challenge - as seen alongside.
Included in all the Visual Perceptual Bundles at a 30% discount!
Printing in black and white increases the challenge
There are 20 totally different sets of pictures that are presented in the same format - which is a set of small cards that need to be cut up (by child or parent) and then matched to the main set of pictures.
The idea is that the child races against a timer, but this is optional - I prefer to let a younger child work without a timer, but older children may like the timed challenges.
Depending on the puzzle, the child uses visual discrimination, visual closure, figure-ground perception and/or position in space skills.
If your child struggles, or if your child is still in preschool, cut the puzzles into strips so only 3 or 4 are visible at a time. This makes matching easier.
Speed Match - cut out the pictures and time how quickly you can match them
Increase the visual discrimination challenge by printing in black and whiteSize: 22 MB
Printing: it is worth printing these in color and laminating them but printing in black and white simply adds to the visual discrimination challenge and works well.

Visual Discrimination Puzzles
This is a set of 24 puzzles that follow the same format: the child has to scan the grid and cross out the item (letter, number, image) that occurs more than once. Although the same format is followed, the pages cover a variety of themes.
Only $4.99!
To complete the task requires some planning skills as well visual memory (holding the latter/number/image in your head) and visual discrimination (scanning the sheet for identical objects). The puzzles also reinforce the skill of visually scanning from left to right. I recommend you sit opposite your child to make sure that the visual scanning is happening correctly!
The letter grids produce a secret word made up of left-over letters, the number grids give you the number of seconds/repetitions for which an exercise must be done, and the image puzzles produce a brief exercise or hand-muscle routine to be done using the remaining images. A fun concept!
Size: 5.5MB
Printing: All pages are in B&W
Included in all the Visual Perceptual Bundles at a 30% discount!
Find The Animals
Work on directionality, visual motor and visual tracking skills!
Only $2.99!
Beginning on the specified "start" box, kids need to follow the arrows
to find the animal and then either color the animal, or put a specified
shape around it.
- Really nice way of working on directionality and spatial orientation skills.
- The visual motor demand comes from keeping the path of the pencil within the boxes.
- Visual scanning and tracking skills are also brought into play as your child scans ahead to count the blocks and direction in which to travel.
Increase the spatial orientation challenge: Cover up the arrows at the bottom and then give your child the verbal instructions (eg "move two blocks to the left").
Your child won't have the visual clues of the arrows to help, and will be using more spatial orientation.
Following directionsIncrease the auditory memory challenge: Cover up the arrows as above but give your child two or more verbal instructions at a time, (eg "move two blocks to the left then one block down").
Size: 6.5MB
Printing: Black and White. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.

Find And Color
This booklet contains 15 worksheets that are great for working on visual discrimination and figure-ground perception.
Only $2.99
These visual perceptual worksheets have a shaded, slightly patterned background, filled with white figures and objects that your child needs to find and color according to the instructions.
The instructions can be read out loud by a parent or by the student themselves. A typical instruction might say "Color all 6 stars yellow" or "color the parrot int he tree red".
The worksheets come in a variety of themes that will suit both boys and girls.
Size: 42MB
Printing: Black and White. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.

Magnified Monsters
This is a great little resource for figure-ground perception, visual discrimination and visual scanning, with a funky monster theme!
Only $1.99
The activities are presented in 2 different ways. In both, your child is presented with a piece of a monster and needs to pay attention to small details in order to find the monster which matches the piece.
The color format makes it a little easier to differentiate between monsters. You can increase the visual discrimination demand by printing in black and white, which reduces the "clues" given to your child and will force your child to pay close attention to spot the tiny details to identify the exact monster.
Help your child to pay attention to the small details such as the shape of the tooth, the style of "hair' in the background, etc, in order to differentiate between similar looking monsters.
Beautiful full-colour monsters!
Add challenge with Black and White printingSize: 5MB
Printing: Color printing is recommended for easier challenges. You can print in good quality black and white to increase the challenge for older kids. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.

Find the Differences
These standard "find the difference" pictures, covering all kinds of themes, are ideal for younger children or to encourage figure-ground perception, visual discrimination and visual scanning skills.
Only $2.99
The pictures are clear, not too detailed, and there are just 5 differences between each picture. I really like the simplicity of the black and white line pictures, which enable the child to focus on finding differences without being overwhelmed with details.
There are 30 find-the-difference puzzles in all, plus solutions.

Printing: Black and White. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.

School Doodle Find
A fun back-to-school theme that can be used any time of year!
This set of visual perceptual worksheets works on visual scanning, visual tracking, figure-ground perception and visual discrimination skills.
Only $2.99
The activities are presented in a find-and-color and a game-board format, and can be used one-on-one or at an activity station.
If you want to work specifically on the visual tracking and scanning aspects of the worksheets, I recommend you sit opposite your child and show him/her how to track across the page, using a finger to guide the eyes.
If this is too hard, cut a "window" in a piece of cardstock to help your child focus in just one area at a time.
Size: 28 MB
Printing: Color is best, but B&W can increase the challenge for older kids. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.

Memory Challenge
Work on your child's visual memory and/or auditory memory with this download!
There are 3 different kinds of activities in this resource, which can be used in different ways to vary the demand for your child.
Only $3.99
There are 5 black and white sheets that contain line drawings that are easily identifiable and should be familiar to your child.
Then
there are sheets that contain 12 coloured pics around a theme (eg
fruit). Try to choose a theme with which your child is familiar (eg
don't use the fruit sheet if your child is unfamiliar with the different
fruits).
I personally found the pictures to be a little abstract (and therefore potentially hard to identify verbally), but if you use a duplicate sheet which is cut up, your child can point out what was seen instead of using words.
The third set of sheets contain "memory boards" - sheets that are filled with a variety of small, colorful, unrelated objects. The idea is that your child study the sheets and then tell you what he/she can remember seeing. There are quite literally hundreds of objects on each memory board, so you can make it easier by cutting or folding the sheets to show your child just one part at a time.
Although the sheets come with space for your child to write the answers, you can easily do this verbally with your child and ask your child to TELL you what he/she remembers.
Or print a duplicate sheet, cut out the objects and ask your child to point out the remembered pictures.
Size: 6MB
Printing: Color is best. Although the second set of sheets is in black and white, the first and third sets need to be printed in color for best results. You may reprint this resource as often as you need to.
