This free printable draw-and-write worksheet asks kindergarten and first grade children to describe a familiar outdoor scene using their own words. Children first follow the prompt to draw the sun shining over houses, choosing details such as the homes, sky, clouds, trees, or neighborhood around them. They then complete “The sun is…” with a description or idea that fits the picture they created.
The sentence starter encourages children to think of a property or additional detail rather than simply name the main object in their drawing. They might describe the sun as bright, hot, yellow, high in the sky, or use a longer phrase of their own. This free kindergarten and first grade writing worksheet provides practice with descriptive vocabulary, sentence construction, handwriting, and adding information to an illustrated scene.
