Wild or Domestic? Animal Sorting Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 learn to differentiate between wild and domestic animals by looking closely at each picture and deciding where the animal lives and how it relates to people. Sorting animals into these two categories builds early classification skills, an important foundation for later scientific thinking.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first animal picture together and ask your child what they know about it, such as where it lives or whether people keep it as a pet or farm animal. Decide together whether it is a wild animal or a domestic animal. Have your child write the letter W for wild or D for domestic in the box next to the animal. Continue through the remaining animals, encouraging your child to explain their reasoning for trickier cases.
