Big and Small with Body Parts

Find the big one! This preschool worksheet shows body parts at different sizes, and a child spots the biggest. Weighing the sizes and picking the largest — which a hand, a foot and an ear is the big one? — is the simplest size judgment there is, a comparison a child makes well before counting. Each pick sharpens a young child's eye for the bigger of two pictures.

Before a child counts, they compare — and bigger-versus-smaller is the very first comparison. Looking at two body parts and deciding which is larger sharpens a preschooler's eye for size, the two-way judgment that comes before sequencing or counting. This worksheet makes that single comparison a game: weigh the two, pick the bigger one, every time.

Children feel clever spotting the bigger picture every time, and a finished big-and-small worksheet is a small win. When this is easy, compare the sizes in big and small with breakfast, or try big and small with clothes. You can also browse every big-and-small worksheet or the whole preschool collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more a child compares big and small, the surer their eye for size grows, one comparison at a time.
