Animal's World: Sorting Animals by Land, Water, and Air - Printable Worksheet

How to use this worksheet

Look at each animal picture together and talk about what you already know about where it lives before cutting begins. Have your child cut out each animal picture from the bottom of the page using child-safe scissors. For every animal, ask 'does this animal live on land, in the water, or does it fly in the air?' before gluing it into the matching category box. Once all animals are sorted, review each group and ask your child to name a body part that helps that animal live in its habitat, like fins for swimming.
