About This Free Small Medium Big Worksheet for Kids
Everything on this free small medium big worksheet 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 object three times at three sizes, with the biggest to be circled. The pictures used are a fire extinguisher, a party hat, a firework and a gift box.
This is the least uniform set of the six — the objects have little in common with each other, so each row is a fresh judgement rather than a variation on the last. The gift box and party hat are good conversation starters. Talking about the picture before comparing it keeps a reluctant child at the table. Once sizes are easy, the same judgement applied to numbers is the next step, and our free alphabet tracing worksheets 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 lowercase letter tracing worksheets build on the same kind of thinking with numbers rather than pictures.

At what age should children start using this small medium big worksheet?
From about three years old, but go by what your child can already do. If they can look at two things and say which is bigger, or longer, or there is more of, they are ready for this small medium big worksheet. If not, do the same activity with toys or fruit first — the printed version is easier once the idea is already familiar.
How does this worksheet help children build size comparison skills?
Small medium 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?
Yes — comparing and ordering objects by size, weight, height and quantity appears in early years curricula across India, the UK, the US and Australia, usually grouped under early mathematics. The skill being built is the language of comparison, which formal number work assumes a child already has. Our shapes worksheets for kids 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.
