Looking for a fun and meaningful first week of school activity? This FREE All About Me Booklet for Preschool and Kindergarten is the perfect way to help young learners introduce themselves while practicing early writing, drawing, and fine motor skills.
Whether you teach preschool, pre-k, transitional kindergarten, or kindergarten, this printable booklet helps children share who they are while creating a special keepsake that families will treasure for years to come.

What Is Included?
This free printable All About Me booklet includes a variety of engaging pages that encourage children to express themselves through simple writing, drawing, and hands-on activities.
Inside the booklet, children will:
- Write their name
- Count the letters in their name
- Share their eye color, hair color, and favorite color
- Measure how tall they are
- Record their birthday and age
- Draw their favorite gift
- Draw and write about their family
- Write their address
- Share their favorite TV show and favorite toy
- Draw what they want to be when they grow up
- Create handprint and footprint keepsake pages
Not every page needs to be used! Simply print the pages that best suit the ages and abilities of your students.

Name and Personal Information Pages
Several cover page options are included, allowing children to choose their favorite design before creating their own special booklet.
Students then write their name and count how many letters are in it, helping reinforce name recognition and early literacy skills. Other pages invite children to share their eye color, hair color, favorite color, and even measure how tall they are.
For the height activity, simply cut a piece of yarn to match each child’s height and place it inside a small envelope or attach it to the page for a fun keepsake.

Favorite Things and Family Pages
As children work through the booklet, they have opportunities to think about the things that make them unique.
They can:
- Write their birthday and age
- Draw the best gift they’ve ever received
- Draw their family members
- Write their address
- Share their favorite TV show
- Draw their favorite toy
- Illustrate what they would like to be when they grow up
These pages provide wonderful conversation starters while helping teachers learn more about each child.

Handprint and Footprint Keepsake Pages
The final pages create a memorable keepsake for families.
Children make colorful handprints and footprints while discussing all the amazing things their hands and feet can do.
For best results, complete these pages on thicker paper, allow the paint to dry, and then glue the finished prints into the booklet. If you prefer a less messy option, students can simply trace around their hands and feet instead.

While creating their booklet, children build a variety of important early learning skills, including:
- Fine motor skills
- Pencil control
- Name writing
- Early literacy
- Oral language
- Drawing and creativity
- Self-awareness
- Classroom community
- Confidence and self-expression
