The Hungry Ant: Fruit Matching Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Cut out the fruit pieces with your child first, working through the shapes one at a time. Ask your child to name each fruit as they cut it out, then sort or count the pieces if the worksheet asks for a specific number or type. Guide them to glue the matching fruits along the ant's trail or onto the correct matching spot on the page. Color the ant and any remaining details once the fruit is glued down.
