Full Empty Practice Activities
Printable full and empty activities for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to compare containers, pictures and everyday objects with confidence.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Full Empty practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children understand an early maths and observation concept: whether a container has something in it or not. Children practise looking carefully, comparing pictures, and using the words full and empty correctly.
The printable worksheets include simple picture-based tasks such as identifying full and empty objects, matching, circling, colouring, and sorting. The activities use familiar items like glasses, buckets, bowls, baskets, jars and boxes so children can connect the worksheet to real-life experiences.
Full and empty is an early comparison concept. Children notice whether a glass has water, a basket has fruits, a box has toys, or a bowl has food. At this stage, the aim is not measuring quantity. It is to build the idea that an object can contain something, contain nothing, or look different after it is filled or emptied.
How the worksheets progress
The activities begin with clear visual recognition: circle the full bucket, colour the empty jar, or tick the full basket. Then children move to matching pairs, sorting full and empty pictures, and choosing the correct word for a shown object. This gradual movement from looking to naming helps young learners build vocabulary and confidence before writing is expected.
Parent routine at home
Use the worksheet after a quick hands-on activity. Show your child two cups, one with water and one without. Say, “This cup is full. This cup is empty.” Ask the child to point, repeat the words, and then find another example at home, such as an empty plate or a full pencil box. After this, complete one printable page together. Encourage the child to explain each answer in a short sentence.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during maths readiness, EVS observation, morning work, or small-group practice in Nursery, LKG and UKG. They also work well as follow-up sheets after a demonstration with real containers. For a centre activity, place picture cards of full and empty objects in two trays and then give the worksheet for independent practice.
Common errors to watch for
Some children may confuse full with heavy, large, or closed. A big empty box is still empty, and a small glass can be full. Others may think a container is full only when it is filled to the very top. Use clear examples and repeat the key words: full means it has something inside; empty means nothing is inside.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the pictures simple, familiar and age-appropriate so children focus on the concept, not on complicated drawings.

This three-step habit supports careful observation and builds the language needed for later comparison topics such as more, less, same, heavy and light.
