What Is In The Treasure Box Practice Activities
Printable treasure box activities for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to draw, imagine, name objects, and build early writing confidence.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These What Is In The Treasure Box worksheets help Nursery, LKG and UKG children practise drawing, early writing, observation, and imagination. Children look at a treasure box prompt, think about what could be inside, and express their ideas through pictures, marks, letters, or simple words.
The printable activities include child-friendly spaces for drawing hidden objects, colouring, naming familiar things, and talking about choices. They support pencil control, vocabulary, storytelling, and confidence before formal sentence writing begins.
A treasure box prompt gives young learners a playful reason to draw and write. Children may imagine toys, sweets, coins, shells, stars, keys, flowers, or any special object they want to place inside. This builds expressive language because they are not only copying; they are deciding, naming, and explaining. For Nursery children, the response may be scribbles, colours, or a single drawn shape. LKG and UKG children may add beginning letters, labels, or short spoken descriptions.
From drawing to early writing
The skill progression is gentle. First, children notice the box and predict what is hidden. Next, they draw an object using lines, circles, curves, and simple shapes. Then they may colour it and try to say or write its name. This links drawing writing with important readiness skills: left-to-right movement, hand strength, visual thinking, vocabulary, and the idea that marks can carry meaning.
Parent routine at home
Sit with your child and ask, “What do you think is in the treasure box?” Let your child answer freely before giving suggestions. Encourage one clear drawing, then ask for a name: “Is it a ball, a ring, or a mango?” If your child is ready, write the word lightly for tracing or ask them to write the first sound. End by letting them tell one sentence about the treasure, such as “This is my red car.”
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these worksheets during drawing-writing practice, oral language corners, free expression periods, or theme-based activities about surprises and objects. They also work well for small-group conversation: each child shows the page and tells what they placed in the box. This helps quiet children participate without the pressure of reading a full sentence.
Common errors to watch for
Some children may rush to colour the whole box without drawing the treasure. Others may copy a friend’s idea instead of thinking independently. A child may also grip the pencil too tightly, make very tiny drawings, or feel worried that the picture is not perfect. Gently remind them that the aim is to show an idea, not to make an exact picture.
