Solid vs. Liquid Worksheet: Color and Learn!

How to use this worksheet

Look at each picture together and talk about whether the item can be picked up and holds its shape (a solid) or pours and takes the shape of its container (a liquid). Have your child decide for each picture whether it's a solid or a liquid, then color the corresponding 'S' or 'L' letter next to it. Once finished, review the page together, asking your child to explain their reasoning for one or two of the choices.
