Preschool Worksheets: Big and Small Worksheets for Preschool

April 15, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

I remember the first time Piglet showed that she was starting to notice differences in sizes. She said “Wow! Mommy! Your hand is much more huger than mine!” *giggle*

Since she has older siblings, she seemed to become aware of the differences between bigger and smaller pretty quickly.

After all, she wasn’t able to do a lot of things her brothers and sisters could because they were “bigger” than her.

To reinforce the idea of size differentiation, I decided to try some big and small worksheets for preschool. And I thought why not add a cute cupcake theme and make them free while I was at it!

I’ve been on a bit of a cupcake roll lately, so if you want to build a quick unit for your preschooler, add these worksheets for preschoolers to our cupcake letter matching activity and our cupcake playdough mats!

Plus, see our other preschool worksheets and activities for kids!

Cupcake Big and Small Worksheets for Preschool

To use these cupcake big and small worksheets, you’ll need the following supplies: (Affiliate links are listed below. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

These printables focus on helping preschoolers learn the difference between items that are “biggest” and those that are “smallest”.

Kids can practice finding the cupcakes that are biggest on one worksheet.

A second worksheet helps them practice finding the smallest cupcake in each row.

I didn’t want to do biggest and smallest on the same worksheet, because that could be a little confusing, especially for young learners.

A complete answer key is included. And, if you use the line art version, you can let the kids color in their cupcakes afterwards.

Preschool Worksheets: Preschool Sorting Worksheets

January 31, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Have you ever taken a preschooler out to shop for clothes?

My four-year-old has recently developed a severe aversion to particular colors and textures, so shopping for clothing is…an interesting experience.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Me: “What do you think about this shirt?”

Her: *waves both arms frantically* “No, Mom! I only like purple right now!”

Clearly, she knows her colors.

Preschoolers typically do a great job at distinguishing colors, sizes, and quantities when it comes to things they prefer, but learning to sort common objects by color or amount can still be a little tricky.

So I’m sharing a brand new set of preschool worksheets today: color and number preschool sorting worksheets!

Preschool Sorting Worksheets for Colors and Numbers

These printables are a great way to give little learners some practice in recognizing colors, counting from one to four, and classifying items as sets – all in one activity!

Plus, they get a little fine motor practice too!

Read on to see how to get your set.

And, if you like these, check out our Apple Activities Preschool Bundle for more early learning fun!

Once the kids cut out the color cubes, they can practice gluing the correct number of cubes in the right section on each worksheet.

You might want to have the kids match up the cubes before gluing.

That way, they’ll get a little extra practice and they’ll have time to switch any cubes around before gluing them down.

(Hint: If your child tends to have a meltdown over mistakes – like mine – the extra practice is totally worth it.)

Each worksheet has a section for different colors and quantities of color cubes.

Printable Colorful Cube Sorting Activity

There are enough color cubes on the two pages to fill all four worksheets – with several left over.

So if you want the kids to get a little extra scissor skills practice, they can work on cutting out the extra cubes afterward!

Preschool Worksheets: Snowflake Preschool Matching Worksheets

January 18, 2018 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Winter is not my favorite season, but I absolutely love the beauty of snowflakes. Since we don’t see snow often in the South, a snowfall is still a big event down here.

In fact, we got a steady snowfall for a day last month and the kids just sat in the front of the living room window watching. It was basically our Super Bowl. 🙂

One of the most incredible things about snowflakes is that, as far as scientists can tell, no two snowflakes are alike! So it’s really difficult to find two similar snowflakes in nature.

But these snowflake preschool matching worksheets let kids find pairs of similar snowflakes in no time!

Since matching similar objects is a major preschool objective, these winter printables are perfect for practicing this skill with your little ones!

Read on to see how to get your set of these preschool worksheets! Then check out our winter literacy playdough mats for more fun winter preschool learning!

and two black line snowflake worksheets. So you don’t need color ink to use these!

These are great for learning to pay attention to detail. Some of these snowflakes look very similar at first, but as kids look more closely, they’ll spot the differences.

This set also includes a full answer key, so kids can check their own work afterward!

Learning to use scissors correctly is an important part of early childhood education.

Even if kids don’t need to cut an object right away, practicing with scissors teaches them how to use hand-eye coordination and helps to improve their fine motor skills.

Plus, scissor practice is just plain fun for little ones!

That is, it’s fun if… you use fun preschool scissor skills worksheets that little ones love.

How to Use Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets

Before you get ready to use these preschool scissor skills worksheets with early learners, these supplies may come in handy. (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

When my kids were very young, I always used plastic-covered scissors with them.

They were very helpful, because I could give them a printable cutting practice worksheet without worrying about them cutting their fingers.

Themed Preschool Scissor Skills Worksheets for Kids

As they got older, we graduated to metal scissors with blunted edges.

It made them feel they were using “real” scissors like Mom, but without the danger of sticking themselves (or a sibling who got too close).

What I love about these printable cutting worksheets for preschoolers is that they’re versatile enough to be used any time of year.

They go well with seasonal units, but they also make good fine motor skills practice any day.

If you try any of these preschool cutting worksheets, I’d love to know which ones your students enjoyed the most!
