How to use this worksheet
Look at the sun pictured on the page and identify the other objects shown, like a lamp, flashlight, or candle. Draw a line connecting the sun to each object that also gives off light energy. Then circle the objects that produce light, discussing why each one was chosen and which pictured items don't give off light.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons
Extension activities

Elephant Puzzle: Math Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
Children ages 4-5 practice solving simple addition problems and then use those answers to solve a picture puzzle, matching each answer to the correct puzzle piece to complete an elephant. This turns basic addition fact practice into a satisfying hands-on challenge with a visual reward at the end.
Near and Far Worksheet: Identifying Distance for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Judging whether an object is near or far and connecting objects based on that positional relationship builds spatial vocabulary for children ages 3-5, an early skill that supports understanding distance, maps, and following directional instructions.
Color by Number Addition Worksheet: The Turtle!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children ages 4-6 practice single-digit addition facts and then apply a color key to their answers, combining math fluency with careful visual matching as the turtle picture is revealed. The immediate visual payoff of a colored picture gives children a clear, motivating way to check whether their addition was correct.
Thin vs. Thick Worksheet: Circle the Thinner and Thicker Objects!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet develops early measurement vocabulary as children ages 3-5 compare pairs of objects and decide which is thinner or thicker. Because thickness must be judged visually rather than counted, this task sharpens visual discrimination and comparative reasoning — skills that later support understanding of size, width, and other measurement concepts. Circling the correct object also reinforces the vocabulary words 'thin' and 'thick' through repeated, hands-on use.
High and Low Volume Sorting Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet introduces children ages 3-5 to an early science concept — sound volume — by asking them to sort pictures of sound sources into 'high' (loud) and 'low' (quiet) volume columns. Making this judgment requires recalling real-world sound memories and applying that knowledge to a picture, which builds auditory reasoning and categorization skills beyond what's visible on the page. It's also a gentle introduction to the idea that sound is a form of energy with measurable properties.
Transportation Word Search Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This word search worksheet builds sight-word recognition and spelling awareness for children ages 4-6 as they scan a letter grid to find transportation-related vocabulary. Searching for a specific sequence of letters within a larger grid strengthens visual tracking and letter-pattern recognition, skills that support both reading fluency and spelling as children learn to recognize whole words at a glance.
3R Crossword Puzzle Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This crossword puzzle challenges children ages 4-6 to connect vocabulary about reducing, reusing, and recycling to its written spelling, reinforcing environmental concepts through reading and word-building rather than picture matching alone. Using clues to determine the correct word and then filling in letter boxes practices phonics, spelling, and logical deduction together, since letters that cross with other answers must match on both words.
Taller or Shorter? Comparing Heights Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet builds early measurement vocabulary for children ages 3-5 as they compare the heights of pictured objects and people, circling the taller or shorter one as instructed. Beyond simple height comparison, the final section asks your child to identify both the tallest and smallest in a group, requiring them to compare more than two items at once, a step up in reasoning from simple pairwise comparison.

Summer T-Shirt Match: A Fun Matching Worksheet for Kids!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet has children ages 3-5 match fruit designs to summer t-shirts featuring the same pattern, building visual discrimination as they compare details like shape and arrangement across two separate pictures. Because the match depends on recognizing a specific fruit design repeated in a different context, children practice the transferable skill of identifying that two pictures represent the same thing even when shown in a different format. Naming the fruits along the way also builds vocabulary.
Help the Boy Get Home! A Fun Maze Worksheet for Kids
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Tracing a path through a maze to help a boy get home builds visual tracking and route-planning skills for children ages 3-5, since they must scan ahead and mentally test paths before committing to one. This kind of trial-and-error problem solving also strengthens the fine motor control needed to keep a pencil line steady along a winding path.
Parts of a Plant Worksheet: Identify and Label!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This activity teaches children ages 3-5 the basic parts of a plant — flower, stem, leaf, and roots — by having them label a diagram and add texture using real pulses or grains glued onto the plant shape. Combining a tactile material with each labeled part helps young children retain the vocabulary better than labeling alone, since touch and sight reinforce the same information.
Lock and Key Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Matching each key to the lock sharing the same letter helps children ages 3-5 practice letter recognition in a playful, puzzle-like context rather than rote drilling. Because each key must be checked against several similar-looking locks before finding the right match, this worksheet also builds visual scanning and careful comparison skills that support problem-solving.
Spot the Differences! Fun Picture Puzzle Worksheet for Kids
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This spot-the-differences puzzle sharpens visual discrimination in children ages 3-5 by requiring them to compare two nearly identical pictures and notice small changes in detail, color, or position. Scanning systematically for differences also builds sustained visual attention and patience, both important pre-academic skills that support later tasks like proofreading and careful reading.
Parts of a Leaf Worksheet for Preschoolers: Learn and Play!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This hands-on activity teaches children ages 3-5 the parts of a leaf — tip, blade, veins, midrib, petiole, and stem — by having them shape a leaf from playdough while comparing it to a real leaf. Building a physical model alongside a real specimen helps children connect abstract vocabulary to tangible features they can see and touch, which is especially effective for this age group.
Coding Kites Worksheet: Match the Bows!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This activity sharpens visual observation in children ages 3-5 as they compare color sequences on each kite to a set of loose bows and find the exact match. Careful, systematic comparison — checking each color in order rather than glancing quickly — builds an attention-to-detail habit that transfers directly to early reading and number work.
Summer Shadows Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet has children ages 3-5 match pictures of summer activities, like swimming or building a sandcastle, to their correct shadow silhouettes, building visual discrimination through shape recognition rather than color or detail. Because these shadows represent action scenes rather than single objects, children must recognize more complex outlines, including body positions and poses, which is a step up from matching simpler object shadows. This adds a layer of visual reasoning about how shapes and motion relate.
