1999 version
Kisha has painted many pictures and hidden various letters, numbers, and shapes in her artwork. The player must find the hidden numbers, letters, or shapes in her paintings.

1995 version
Casey will use the paint cans to find a certain number, letter, or shape in the picture to fill in the areas. There are different colors at the bottom of the screen. The picture is done when the activity is completed.

1999 version
Kisha will ask the player to find a certain letter, number, or shape in the painting. The number, letter, or shape that Kisha wants will also appear on a sign next to her canvas. The player moves the mouse over Kisha's paintings to find hidden numbers, letters, or shapes. Moving the mouse over a number, letter, or shape makes it blink red. The player must click on all of the correct letters, numbers, or shapes. The activity is completed when the player has found them all.
