About This Free Small and Big Worksheet
Everything on this free small and big worksheet for preschoolers sits on one page, with one task to complete. A name and date line runs across the top and the activity fills the rest of the sheet. At Kidzolearn, every worksheet is 100% free to download and print — no login, no subscription, no payment required.
Four rows in one bordered box, each showing the same land animal three times at three sizes, with your child circling the biggest in every row. The pictures used are a fox, a turtle, a penguin and a crocodile.
Real animals come in a fixed size in a child’s head, so seeing the same crocodile drawn small, medium and large takes a moment to accept. That momentary pause is the worksheet doing its job. If your child hesitates, cover two of the three pictures and compare just the remaining pair. Comparing two things is much easier than three, and you can uncover the third once the first choice is made. Once sizes are easy, the same judgement applied to numbers is the next step, and our free printable coloring pages follow on from here. The rest of the library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.
What your child will learn from this worksheet
Short as the activity is, it covers more than a single skill:
- Making a visual size comparison judgement and committing to an answer
- Using the words that go with it — big, bigger and biggest
- Looking carefully at two or more pictures before deciding, rather than answering on impulse
- Controlling a pencil well enough to draw a circle round the right picture
- Working through a full page independently and finishing what they started
These are the same early reasoning and fine motor foundations expected in Nursery, LKG, UKG, Reception and Grade 1. Our uppercase letter tracing worksheets build on the same kind of thinking with numbers rather than pictures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kidzolearn worksheets really free?
Yes! Every worksheet on Kidzolearn is 100% free — no subscription, no login and no payment required at any time. Simply click the download button, save the PDF and print it instantly at home or in the classroom.
At what age should children start using this small and big worksheet?
Around three to four suits most children, though it varies a great deal. Look for two signs: your child can spot a difference between two pictures and explain it in a word or two, and can hold a pencil well enough to circle or color. Until both are there, comparing real objects you can pick up works better than a worksheet.
How does this worksheet help children build size comparison skills?
small and big worksheet gives children four rows of same-object pictures in three different sizes. Comparing and circling the biggest picture in each row builds visual discrimination, size vocabulary and confident independent judgement — the three core skills behind strong early size comparison.
Is comparison practice part of the official early years curriculum?
It is. Early years frameworks almost everywhere include comparison and measurement before children begin adding and subtracting. Indian schools cover it across Nursery, LKG and UKG, and the UK places it within Mathematics in the EYFS. Comparison comes first because it builds the vocabulary number work depends on, so our number worksheets for kindergarten are the natural next step once this one feels easy.
Can I use these worksheet at home?
Absolutely! This worksheet is completely free to download and print at home. All you need is a printer and crayons or a pencil — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
