Learning to sort and classify things is a natural part of learning and growing. We sort by letter, number, and all sorts of criteria. Learning to sort and classify animals into their major groupings is a fun part of science that can’t be missed. These FREE Animal Classification Color by Code worksheets are the perfect way to help kids learn and remember what makes animals similar to each other and different.
With these FREE Animal Classification Color by Code worksheets, students can learn the differences between:
- mammals
- fish
- birds
- reptiles

There are two worksheets for each type of animal. Each worksheet includes basic information about the type of animal, such as mammals are warm-blooded, have hair, etc. In addition to the short summary, there is a picture of an animal to color. As kids color all the W spaces one color (W for warm-blooded), all the H spaces another color (H for hair), and so on, they’ll create a picture while reviewing what they have learned in a fun way.
There are even bonus questions that ask kids to name the animal they have colored once they are finished! It’s a simple, no-prep way to help kids practice science and create beautiful pictures you can add to your refrigerator or bulletin board!
