Missing Pieces worksheets

290 worksheets

Missing-pieces worksheets are a shape-and-looking puzzle: part of a picture has been cut away, and the child chooses the piece that fits the hole, then drags it into place. It builds visual completion, shape and orientation awareness, and careful comparison — choosing the right piece among similar ones. The tasks are picture-based and suit K-3 with no reading required. Each missing-pieces worksheet is a free printable PDF with a matching play-online version: the interactive one accepts the correct piece into each hole and flags a wrong fit, the printable suits a quiet table or homework, and an answer key is included. The whole set is available in all 11 languages we publish in.

How to use these worksheets

Print the PDF for a no-prep classroom or homework task, or open the play-online version on a tablet or whiteboard for instant feedback. Every worksheet includes an answer key, so children can self-check or work independently. Mix sheets across themes and grade levels to build a short Missing Pieces lesson, or send one home for extra practice.
