Inside and Outside Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first section together and identify which objects are shown outside versus inside, having your child circle the ones that are outside. Talk through why each object belongs where it does as you go. Move to the second section, where animals need a home, and help your child cut out each animal picture carefully. Have them decide which home matches each animal and glue it into the correct spot, explaining their reasoning out loud as they work.
