Welcome to my post about Worksheets and Learning Books for ages 4-7. I don’t know about you, but I constantly look for worksheets to complete at home, with my little one. She is very creative and loves solving puzzles and drawing.
There are so many free resources online, should you want to download and print your sheets. I will discuss and link some of the great resources below. And include links to books, should you want to purchase them for your little ones.

Age-appropriate activities
When I read about gentle parenting and other parenting styles, one common theme is having age-appropriate learning. Content and activities to do, so that children can understand their abilities. We shouldn’t be expecting children to learn much beyond their abilities. That said, depending on your child, you may need to challenge them more. And this is completely your choice about what resources to download and use.
School or nursery themes
My little one is coming up to five years old. So we are still using some of the preschool sheets, in addition to the basics she is learning in Reception class at school.
I love that the school have regular home projects for us to complete. These are related to our favourite children’s stories. This leads me to our recent topic, which is one of our favourites – Julia Donaldson books.
Free Gruffalo resources
The Gruffalo was one of the first books we read with my little one. And we still have it to this day. We know it off by heart and also watch the programme on her tablet.
Our school is starting to read some of the other Julia Donaldson books, including A Squash and a Squeeze.
See the great, free resources available, if, like us, you also love these books.
Shall we look at more Worksheets and Learning Books for ages 4-7
Varied Resources
The following resources contain worksheets that relate to different celebration days and television programmes designed for children.
Reading and Phonics
My little one loves doing phonics and we are just starting the sound blending journey.
Worksheets by age
I love a website that has the resources you need to be organised into sections. And what you need is easy to find.
Number worksheets
My little one loves numbers. She is currently asking what clothes size I am when we visit the shops. She reads some paragraphs from my books and goes by the page number. And recognises numbers wherever she goes. Therefore, it is important to learn maths whilst at home.
Worksheets for managing emotions
I’ve spoken on my blog before about Helping Little Kids Manage Big Emotions. We even downloaded emotion flashcards to help my little one tell us what was happening for her emotionally. Children are now always able to verbalise what is happening to them or how they are feeling. Below are some resources if you want to help your little one process their emotions.
