All About Me Printable Preschool Worksheet (Free PDF) - MindyMakes (1)

At the beginning of the school year last year my toddler came home with a sheet of paper titled “All About Me”. This is a worksheet where he (with the help of his teachers) filled out little facts about himself. They included his favorite food, favorite things to do, as well as little self portrait of him and his family.

My husband and I had a good laugh over the answers he had given his teachers. Even our adult guests who came over enjoyed reading his little worksheet that we ended up taping inside our guest bathroom.

So this year, I decided to have him fill out another one of these worksheets as a first day of school activity. It would definitely be a fun way (and memorable keepsake) to see his progression over the years!

Another way you can use this activity in the classroom is to have the kids sit in a circle and share the answers on their worksheets. This is a fun way for kids to practice speaking up in front of a group and building their confidence.

For the younger kiddos you may have to help them read their answers. However, it is still a good exercise for kids to take turns and practice quiet listening when it’s not their turn. It’s also fun for kids when they hear other kids who also like the same colors or the same activities.

Additionally, the printable comes in a colored version as well as a black and white version. Both versions are print and ready to use. However, the black and white version gives kids the option to color in the side graphics if they like.

Both versions are available in PDF format for easy printing. Choose the version that best suits your needs.

OTHER Ways TO Enjoy THIS Activity

The most straightforward way to use this worksheet is to simply print it out and fill in the blanks. However other create ways include the following:

  • Use a photo of the child in the “This is a Picture of Me” section instead of drawing it
  • Using the appropriate colored crayon or marker to write in “My Favorite Color is…”
  • Cut out the child’s favorite color on construction paper and let them stick it on the worksheet as the answer
  • Have the child draw a picture of their favorite food instead of writing it out. Or, you could have your child find a photo of their favorite food in a magazine or use stickers.
  • Coloring in the white spaces around the worksheet

Kids are always the most creative when it comes to these things! So let them take the lead.
