Critical thinking preschool worksheets
Whether you are taking a walk outside or reading a book together with your child, there are always opportunities to practice critical thinking.
For instance, encourage your child to look for repeating patterns, for similarities and differences between objects and so on. The more they understand the world around them the better they will be able to generalize and utilize the knowledge in more complex situations.
To provide you with some pen and paper exercises, I’ve created these critical thinking preschool worksheets.
Feel free to use them in the classroom or at home.
And make sure to expand on your child’s answers. Ask her more about each group of pictures, why they belong/don’t belong together, and so forth.
To download, just click on the download link at the very end.
