Landforms Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at the landform labels on the page together and talk briefly about what each one looks like — a mountain is tall and pointed, an ocean is a big body of water, and so on. Have your child cut out the small pictures at the bottom of the page along the dotted lines. One at a time, ask them to identify which landform each picture matches and glue it into the correct labeled box. Review the finished page together, naming each landform and describing one feature of it.
