This free printable draw-and-write worksheet encourages kindergarten and first grade children to expand a simple picture into an idea of their own. Children first follow the prompt to draw a bird flying in the sky, then complete “The bird is…” with a sentence ending inspired by their illustration. They can describe the bird’s action, tell where it is going, explain what it is looking for, or imagine another detail about the scene.
The drawing prompt provides a clear starting point without determining exactly what children need to write. This gives beginning writers practice adding information, choosing descriptive or action words, and turning their ideas into a complete sentence. The worksheet can also introduce simple storytelling by encouraging children to imagine what is happening beyond the picture. Use this free kindergarten and first grade writing worksheet for homeschool, creative literacy practice, or additional writing work at home.
