Draw the Big Pet Worksheet – Imaginative Pet Drawing Prompts for Kids

Do your students (or kids at home) love animals and drawing? This “Draw the Big Pet” worksheet is a fun, creative activity that encourages children to use their imagination while practising fine motor skills and size awareness. Kids get to draw a big pet—anything from a giant puppy to a friendly dinosaur—on the leash held by a boy or a girl.

What’s inside

• Two versions: one with a boy holding the leash; one with a girl.

• A large blank space for drawing the “big pet.”

• A simple prompt that emphasizes the idea of size (“big”) which helps with vocabulary like big / small and comparisons.

• Clean, clear line art so kids can focus on their artwork without visual clutter.

Why it’s useful

• Imagination & creativity: Kids can think of unusual or fun pets—not just cats or dogs.

• Language development: Use “big”, compare with smaller pets, discuss colors, textures, etc.

• Fine motor skills: Drawing and colouring help with hand-eye coordination.

• Flexibility: Great for classwork, homeschooling, or leisure activity.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet (you can use both versions to give variety).

2. Begin with a discussion: What is a pet? What kinds of pets do kids know? Then ask: What would a really big pet look like?

3. Let the children choose which worksheet (boy or girl) they like.

4. Draw! Encourage them to fill the page with the pet, thinking about size: the pet should appear big.

5. Optional: after drawing, colour the pet and perhaps write a few sentences: “My pet is big. Its name is ___.”

6. Share: kids can show their drawings, explain what kind of pet they drew and why.
