Animal Habitats & Classification | Sorting Activities

These animal classification activities help kids learn to sort animals based on their habitat or attributes. They can be integrated into various learning areas such as math and science. All of the hands-on activities have corresponding worksheets to consolidate learning experiences.

What's included:
