DigiStore - Face painter

My first activity was locating faces. I had to locate how many faces were there. When you locate you have to count how many faces were there.

My second activity was predicting faces. I had to predict how many different faces were there. When you have predicted how many different faces there were you color them and check if your answers were right.
