About these animal habitats worksheets

Where does a penguin live? These sheets show an animal and ask kids to circle its home from a few habitats: ocean, forest, desert, snow and ice, farm or jungle. The pictures are clear and friendly, so kids can answer on their own once the question is read aloud.

Preschool pages use pictures only and three choices. From kindergarten, each habitat picture is labeled with its name, and there are four choices. It's an easy way to spark conversations about animals and the places they need. Print a new set for different animals each time.
