Fantasy & Fairy Tale worksheets for 4 year olds
40 fantasy & fairy tale worksheets pitched at 4 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with five that step up for a child who is ready for more.
Alongside a rainbow with clouds sits a unicorn with a rainbow mane, a plainer unicorn, a baby unicorn, a full-grown dragon and a baby dragon, so children can move between gentle, wide-spaced scenes and busier ones with more scale, spike and detail to fill in.
They assume a child who traces uppercase letters and numerals along dotted guides, which is typical at four. If that is not there yet, the age 3 sheets are the better place to start.
Sheets in this set include Waving Baby Dragon Colouring Page, Little Red Riding Hood Colouring Page and Magic Beanstalk Colouring Page. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.
Sessions of ten to fifteen minutes work better than one long sitting. Print at 100% rather than fit-to-page — the gap between the guide lines is what tells a child how tall to make a letter, and shrinking it to 94% quietly undoes that.
