Help young children build simple wellness routines with these free Healthy Habits Color and Learn worksheets. The printable pack includes eight low-prep activities about brushing teeth, washing hands, choosing nutritious foods, drinking water, moving the body, getting ready for bed, covering coughs, and reviewing healthy choices.
Designed for Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and early 1st Grade, the pages combine coloring with tracing, counting, sequencing, matching, drawing, and self-reflection. Use one page at a time during a health theme or print the complete US Letter PDF for a classroom packet.
PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVE
Children will identify and discuss age-appropriate habits that support hygiene, nutrition, hydration, physical activity, sleep, and germ prevention. They will also practice fine motor control, early vocabulary, counting to 6, sequencing steps 1-3, visual matching, classification, and personal reflection.
GRADE RANGE
Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade (approximately ages 3-7). Younger learners may need directions read aloud. First graders can extend the activities by explaining why each habit is helpful.
HOW TO USE
Print the PDF at 100% scale on US Letter paper. Read each one-step direction aloud, invite children to name the pictured habit, and model unfamiliar vocabulary. Children can complete the pages with crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers. The pages may be used separately or as one eight-page packet.
WORKSHEET SECTIONS
1. Brush Your Teeth Coloring and Tracing Worksheet
Children color a friendly tooth and toothbrush, trace BRUSH YOUR TEETH, and identify the number 2 in the reminder to brush two times a day. This page supports hygiene vocabulary, print awareness, and fine motor practice.
2. Handwashing Steps Worksheet
Children follow the numbered sequence WET, SOAP, SCRUB and color each picture. Use the page to practice first, next, and last before demonstrating a complete handwashing routine.
3. Healthy Foods Coloring Worksheet
Children color an apple, carrot, and broccoli, circle the fruit, and draw another healthy food on a plate. The open-ended drawing prompt encourages children to connect the activity with foods they know.
4. Drink Water Counting Worksheet
Children count and color six water drops, color the cup, and trace the number 6. This page combines hydration awareness with one-to-one counting and numeral formation.
5. Move Your Body Matching Worksheet
Children distinguish moving from resting and connect each child to the matching word. They can then draw a favorite way to move, such as walking, dancing, jumping, or riding a bike.
6. Healthy Bedtime Choices Worksheet
Children circle two calm bedtime choices – reading and going to bed – while recognizing that screen time is not the best choice right before sleep. They also color a bed and trace the word SLEEP.
7. Cover Your Cough Worksheet
Children color a tissue and trace COVER YOUR COUGH. The page reinforces using a tissue or elbow, throwing used tissues away, and washing hands afterward.
8. My Healthy Habits Review
Children color six habit pictures, check the habits they practice, and choose one habit to focus on today. This page works well as a wrap-up, home-school connection, or informal understanding check.
