Learning to sort and classify animals into their major groupings is a fun part of science that can’t be missed.

With these FREE Animal Classification Color by Code worksheets, students can learn the differences between:

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.
