Draw the baby

Say the baby and grown-up names together, like calf and cow. A grown-up reads each direction, and the child matches, circles or draws.

"Draw the baby" (next to its mother) is a drawing page with 2 framed boxes, each with a small picture at the top. In box 1 (a hen), the child draws her chick. In box 2 (a cat), the child draws her kitten. It practices matching baby animals to their parents and noticing how animals grow. There is no answer key, since every drawing is right.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool living things, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with baby animals. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

14 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
