Vowel Fun! Find, Color, and Fill-in the Missing Vowels Worksheet
This worksheet gives children ages 3-5 focused practice identifying the five vowels, A, E, I, O, U, and recognizing which vowel sound completes a familiar picture word. Because vowels appear in nearly every word, this early, targeted practice builds a phonics foundation that supports reading many more words later.

How to use this worksheet
Start at the top of the page by having your child find and color each of the five vowel letters, saying its name and sound aloud as they color it. Move down to the picture words, saying each picture's name slowly and stretching out the vowel sound so your child can hear which vowel is missing. Have them write the missing vowel in the blank space of each word. Finish by rereading the completed words together.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons or colored pencils
Extension activities
- 1Have your child write the completed words on a separate sheet to practice handwriting alongside phonics.
- 2Play 'I spy a vowel sound' around the house, naming objects and identifying the vowel in the middle.
- 3Sort magnetic or paper letters into vowels and consonants.
- 4Think of one more word for each vowel sound together and draw a quick picture for it.

Trace and Write Numbers: Sixteen to Twenty Worksheet
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This worksheet helps children ages 4-5 practice tracing and writing the number words from sixteen to twenty, completing the teen and early twenty number-word range that builds toward full number fluency to 20. Repeated tracing of these longer words also continues to build the handwriting stamina needed for more complex writing tasks ahead.
Subtraction Fun: Counting Fingers Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
Children ages 4-5 use their own fingers as a built-in counting tool to practice subtraction, connecting an abstract number sentence to something they can physically see and touch. This bridges the gap between counting objects and solving take-away problems with numbers alone.
Feelings Worksheet: Draw the Faces!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet builds emotional literacy by having children draw a face expressing a specific feeling named in a word bubble, such as happy, sad, angry, or surprised. For three- to five-year-olds, practicing how to represent an emotion visually helps them build the vocabulary and self-awareness needed to name and talk about their own feelings, a key early social-emotional skill.
Finger Painting Fun: Make Leaves on the Tree!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet develops fine motor control and sensory creativity by having children use their fingertip, rather than a brush, to dab green paint onto tree branches to create leaves. For three- to five-year-olds, finger painting builds precise fingertip control in a low-pressure, playful way, and repeating the same dabbing motion across the page also reinforces the concept of filling a space with a repeated mark.
Parent's Guide: Fun Activities for Early Learning
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This parent guide bundles four hands-on activities covering sentence building, subtraction, number comparison, and food sorting, designed for children ages 3-5 to practice early literacy and numeracy through tactile, real-world materials like natural loose parts and playdough. Rotating between language and math tasks in one sitting helps children see connections between counting, comparing, and describing the world around them, rather than treating each subject in isolation.
Trace and Write Numbers 11-15: Counting and Writing Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet helps children ages 4-6 practice tracing and writing the number words from eleven to fifteen, moving beyond single-digit numbers into the trickier teen range where number names don't always follow an obvious pattern. Matching the number of dots on dice to the correct written number name also reinforces that these longer number words still represent a specific countable quantity.
Sight Word 'This' Worksheet: Trace, Write, and Identify!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 learn to recognize, write, and use the sight word 'this' in sentences, building automatic recognition of a word that appears constantly in early reading but doesn't sound out easily. Cutting and pasting letters to spell the word adds a hands-on layer that reinforces letter order alongside whole-word recognition.
3 Letter Words Worksheet: Identify and Color!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 identify and recognize simple three-letter words by matching pictures to their written word and then completing each word by filling in a missing vowel. Working with short, consistent words like these builds the beginning reading skills that let children start decoding independently.
