Wild Animals Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Have your child cut out each wild animal picture, following the outline as closely as they can. Look at the jungle scene together and talk about where each animal might live within it — up in a tree, on the ground, or near water. Let your child choose where to place each animal in the scene, then apply a small dot of glue and press it down. Once finished, name each animal together and talk about what makes it a 'wild' animal.
