Free animal worksheets and animal printables for preschool: dinosaur printables, farm animal printables, ocean worksheets, arctic animals and insects.

Animal themes
All animal printables here are free. Open one and the whole PDF arrives by email.
A baby T. rex hatching, a stegosaurus finding its fern, a triceratops with a flower. Few things hold a preschooler's attention like a dinosaur.
Free pack: Dinosaur printables.
Pigs, cows, hens and sheep, the first animals most children can name and imitate, with the tractor and the sunflower along for the ride.
Free pack: Farm printables.
Whales, jellyfish, a shy octopus and a treasure chest. Ocean animal printables for the child who asks about sharks at breakfast.
Free pack: Ocean printables.
Polar bears, arctic foxes, walruses, seals and a snowy owl. No penguins: they live at the other end of the world, and the pack says so.
Free pack: Arctic printables.
Ladybugs, bees, butterflies and a very slow snail.
The first pack for this group is on its way.
Make the animal's sound before each page. Sort toy animals into farm, sea and jungle. Borrow two picture books about the pack's animals from the library. Each pack page also has a few true animal facts to share at the table.
Every animal pack has the full set of tracing pages, lines, letters, numbers and words, drawn with that pack's animals. More on our tracing worksheets page.
Start with the animals your child already names. Familiar characters mean the attention goes to the pencil, not the picture.
Yes. Every animal pack is a free printable PDF, sent by email.
They are made for preschoolers, roughly three to five. Go by what your child can do: the coloring and dot marker pages suit the youngest, the letter and word pages the oldest.
Every pack is free: pick one, enter your email on its page, and the whole PDF arrives in your inbox. Want to see your child's current level in each area first, with the ones to focus on and activities for them? Take our free five-minute check.
