What's Missing with Easter

Which piece is missing? This Kindergarten worksheet shows a picture of Easter things with one piece removed, and the child finds the cutout that fills the gap. Picturing the whole and working out exactly what is absent from the an egg, a bunny and a basket is early inference, the readiness skill of reasoning from part to whole. There are no numbers or letters; the task is completing the picture.

Completing a picture by its missing piece is hands-on inference: imagining the whole, locating the gap, and choosing the part that fills it. For a young child that whole-and-absence thinking is real readiness, grown by puzzling out what is gone, and a Easter things picture keeps every gap clear. The puzzle teaches a child to sense what a complete image needs.

Children love finding the piece that makes a picture whole again, and completing the puzzle feels satisfying. When this is easy, find the missing piece in what's missing with feelings, or try what's missing with fruits. You can also browse every missing-piece puzzle or the whole kindergarten collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more pictures a child completes, the sharper their eye grows for what is missing and what it takes to make a picture whole again.
