My kids just giggled and giggled at the silly animal puzzles they created like the goat bird and the half chameleon and half spider animals. This fun animal habitats kindergarten worksheets start silly which lead to fantastic conversations about animal adaptations, micro evolutions, and more.
Make sure you have some scientific conversations while kids are making animals by asking some of these questions with this animal habitat games for kindergarten:
- would the goat bird have trouble swimming with his horns?
- how would the piranha turtle swim?
- what about the owl sea lion – would it fly or swim?
- where would these animals live, eat, etc
Habitats for Kids
After the kids enjoyed making some silly animal puzzles, we made the animals the “right way”. Then we worked on figuring out where the animals and their habitats belonged. We sorted the animal habitats preschool printables into 5 different habitats. There are six animals for each habitat. If you are unsure of what habitat animals belong in, don’t worry there is an answer key included!
