Preschool Worksheets for Ages 3–4

Ages 3–4

The preschool years are a time of extraordinary growth. Between the ages of three and four, children develop the foundational skills they will rely on for the rest of their education — from holding a pencil and recognizing colors to understanding that objects can be grouped, compared, and arranged in order. The best way to nurture these abilities is through hands-on, playful activities that feel like fun rather than study. Our six preschool worksheet generators are designed with exactly that philosophy. Coloring Pages lets little learners explore color, shape, and creativity with beautifully illustrated scenes they can print and color at home or in the classroom. Draw and Color takes the experience a step further by combining guided drawing prompts with open coloring areas, encouraging children to create their own artwork while practicing pencil grip and hand control. Drawing Lines offers simple tracing paths — straight, curved, and zigzag — that strengthen the small muscles in the hand and build the hand-eye coordination essential for later handwriting. Big or Small introduces the concept of relative size by asking children to compare two objects and circle the bigger or smaller one, laying groundwork for measurement and number sense. MatchUp Maker presents classic pair-matching exercises where preschoolers draw lines between related images, reinforcing vocabulary, memory, and visual discrimination. Pattern Train rounds out the collection with colorful sequences that children extend by spotting the repeating rule. Even at the simplest AB level, pattern work builds the logical thinking that underpins mathematics and reading comprehension in later years. Every generator draws from a library of more than 3,000 original illustrations spanning animals, food, vehicles, nature, and dozens of other child-friendly themes. Choose a topic your child loves, print as many worksheets as you like, and watch early learning happen naturally. All tools are completely free, require no account, and work on any device with a browser and a printer.
