Farm and Wild Animals Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Before cutting, look at each animal picture together and ask your child to name it, prompting if needed. Cut out the animal pictures along their dotted lines, keeping them in a small pile. One at a time, ask your child to decide whether each animal belongs on a farm or in the wild, and glue it into the correct section of the page. Once every animal is sorted and glued, review the two groups together and talk about why each animal lives where it does.
