Complete the Picture-Symmetry

This activity, where a child must complete the missing half of a symmetrical butterfly by referring to the existing side, is an excellent visual-perceptual and cognitive development exercise.

Teaching Tip:

Say: “Let’s look at the lines and shapes on this side. Can we make the other side look the same?”

You can also use a mirror placed along the centre line to show how the complete image would look — this builds visual prediction skills.

Why This Activity is Important:

1. Visual Discrimination

•Helps children notice differences and similarities in shapes, lines,

and patterns.

•Trains the brain to process visual details accurately.
