This free printable draw-and-write worksheet combines an art-themed picture prompt with a personal sentence starter for kindergarten and first grade children. Children begin by drawing a child painting a picture, choosing what the child is creating and adding their own details to the scene. They then complete “I am…” with an idea about themselves, such as “I am creative,” “I am an artist,” or another sentence ending they choose.
The shift from the drawing prompt to a first-person sentence encourages children to use the activity as inspiration rather than simply describe what is shown in their picture. The open-ended response provides practice expressing an idea about themselves while working on sentence construction, descriptive vocabulary, handwriting, and creative thinking. This free kindergarten and first grade writing worksheet can be used for homeschool, early creative writing, or additional literacy practice at home.
