Days of the Week Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

This worksheet teaches children ages 3-5 the order of the days of the week by having them cut out day names and paste them correctly under 'Yesterday', 'Today', and 'Tomorrow'. Understanding this relative time sequence is an important early step in developing time concepts, and the physical cut-and-paste format makes an abstract idea like 'yesterday' more concrete and hands-on.

Curriculum

Time > Days of the Week

How to use this worksheet

Start by saying today's actual day of the week together, then identify what yesterday and tomorrow would be. Have your child cut out the day names listed at the bottom of the page, working carefully along the dotted lines. Guide them to paste each day name into the correct box — 'Yesterday', 'Today', or 'Tomorrow' — checking together that the sequence makes sense before the glue dries.

Materials needed

  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Pencil

Extension activities

  • •Sing the 'Days of the Week' song together every morning to build the sequence into memory.
  • •Create a simple wall calendar and mark off each day as it passes, discussing what happened yesterday and what's planned tomorrow.
  • •Talk about which activities happen on specific days, like a swimming lesson on Tuesday or grocery shopping on Saturday.
  • •Play a quick oral quiz asking 'what day comes after Monday?' or similar questions throughout the week.

Tips for parents and teachers

This concept takes real repetition to stick, so revisit yesterday/today/tomorrow daily rather than expecting mastery from one worksheet. Use a real calendar alongside the activity so your child sees the days in their actual weekly context, not just as isolated words. Help with cutting and pasting as needed, but let your child do the sequencing thinking themselves.

Days of the Week Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

Days Of The WeekSequencing

Cutting out the seven day names and gluing them into the correct sequence teaches children ages 4-6 the fixed order of the days of the week, a foundational piece of time-concept knowledge they'll rely on for calendars, schedules, and daily routines. Because this activity requires both reading the day names and remembering their correct order, it strengthens sight-word recognition alongside sequencing skills. The hands-on cutting and pasting also gives fine motor practice within a literacy and time-concept task.

Learning the days of the week in order gives children a framework for understanding time, routines, and scheduling that they'll use for the rest of their lives, from knowing when school happens to planning a weekend.

Caterpillar Counting Worksheet for Preschoolers

CountingNumbers

Counting the segments of each caterpillar teaches children ages 3-5 one-to-one correspondence — touching or marking each segment exactly once while saying a number — which is the core skill underlying accurate counting. Writing the final total in a box also connects the physical act of counting to its written numeral, reinforcing early number-writing practice.
