Why make All About Me posters?
First, these are a great way to document the different details, likes, dislikes, and size of your child each year. You can watch everything from their height to their favorite color change over the years. It’s also a fun way to get your child thinking and talking about the different aspects of their lives.
Second, used within a classroom setting, these All About Me posters are a fun way to get to know the whole class. This builds a stronger classroom community and helps young children get to know their new classmates.
These make great keepsakes to make and save year after year. Check the bottom of the post for the free downloadable poster sets.
When’s the best time to use All About Me posters?
The best time to complete a new All About Me poster is commonly the first day of school, in the first week of school, or at least sometime in the beginning of the school year. This is when young kids are in a new environment and see themselves as a year older. It’s also a perfect way to help kids get to know each other and see what they have in common.
This is a fun activity they can complete by themselves, in small groups, or during circle time with a whole class. Toddlers and preschoolers will probably need some help if there’s a lot of writing to do. If you’re having an open house, they can complete their own posters then, so they are ready to be displayed on the first day of school.
What to include in an All About Me poster for toddlers or preschoolers
First, always include their basic information like name and age. You also want to make sure you write the date, year, or grade on it somewhere, so down the road you can know when it was completed. Then, you can include some more fun things about them such as their favorite things.
All About Me posters are also a great place to include a child’s size like their height, handprints, or even a footprint. You can also include things like hair color, eye color, or teeth they’ve lost.
Some more fun ideas to include are how high they can count, letters they know, or picture books they like to read. Or have them write their own name or draw a self portrait. Then, you can compare the beginning of the year to the end or to the following year.
Include Photographs
One thing we always recommend including is a photo of the child. Young children love to see pictures of themselves and other children they will recognize like their classmates. This is a fun way to get them even more involved and have so much fun with their posters.
You can also include family pictures to see all the family members together. If you’re completing these in a classroom, ask the parents to send the photos with their child in the first week of school.
Make It Fun
While filling out your posters, don’t think of it as a chore or something too serious. Young children like talking about their favorite things, but still may have trouble focusing on the questions at hand. Make it into a game or do it in small spurts if your child.

This poster is great for anytime of the year, not just the beginning of the school year. Add it into your lesson plans on family or around a family centered holiday.
Another favorite topic of toddlers and preschoolers is their pets. This poster gives them a place to name or draw their pets for you. Or you could give them animal stickers to choose from to represent their pets.
My Measurements All About Me Poster
Let’s face it-toddlers and preschoolers seem to grow overnight. My son needs new clothes and shoes way more often than I’d like because he grows out of them so fast. Document all that growth with this measurements poster!
Because of the fast growth, this poster can be used at any time of the year. Or even multiple times a year. Another awesome idea is to have your child fill this out on every birthday.

Try to get your child thinking about new things when you fill it out. They may have never considered what they’re good at, but talk about all the activities they like to do. And then ask them what they think they’re good at.
Unique to this poster on the list, there’s a space for asking your child what they want to be when they get older. At this age, the answers can be pretty funny or surprising. When I asked my toddler what he wanted to be when he got older, he said a brother (spoiler: he already has a baby sister).
Things I Love All About Me Poster
Another way to ask toddlers and preschoolers about themselves is to ask them about all the things they love. This can be favorite animals or toys, activities they love to do, or books they love read. Add in as much as you want!
This poster would work well with other heart or love activity theme and ideas. Try it out at the beginning of the year, birthdays, or Valentine’s Day! And then frame your Things I Love poster on red construction paper.
End of the Year All About Me Poster
Generally, All About Me posters are used at the beginning of the year. But for kids, they grow and learn so much in just one year. That’s why we thought it would be fun to also make one for the end of the year.
One year makes a huge difference in the world of toddlers and preschoolers, and this is a great opportunity to document that. Measure how much they grow, how much bigger their handprint got, and how old they now are.
You can also document how much they learned over the year like if they learned new letters, math skills, or writing. This is an easy way to see progress from another school year. And you may be surprised how some of their favorite activities and interests changed in that time.
Completed All About Me Posters
You’ve filled out one or more of the All About Me posters, so now what? The point of these posters is to have them as keepsakes, so you can look back on just how little your child or students once were. And then you can compare them as they grow and learn.

Once your students have completed their All About Me posters, you can hang them all on a bulletin board for the entire class and all the parents to see. The kids themselves will love seeing them up.

Alternatively, you can create a portfolio of their work to give them at the end of the year. Include one or more of these All About Me posters in that portfolio.
