Baby Animals worksheets for 3 year olds

22 baby animals worksheets pitched at 3 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with one that steps up for a child who is ready for more.

Here's a young animal, curled up or mid-tumble, waiting for some colour.

They assume a child who copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes, which is typical at three. If that is not there yet, the age 2 sheets are the better place to start.

Sheets in this set include Baby Piglet Colouring Page, Baby Kangaroo In Mom's Pouch Colouring Page and Baby Koala Joey Colouring Page. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.

Five to ten minutes at a time is plenty at this age, and going outside the lines is the expected outcome rather than a mistake. Print in greyscale to save ink, or slide the sheet into a plastic pocket and hand over a dry-wipe marker so the same page lasts a month.

What most 3 year olds can do

  • Copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes
  • Counts objects up to five with one-to-one pointing
  • Sorts confidently by a single attribute like colour
  • Begins to recognise the letters in their own name

Averages, not targets. Children vary enormously at this age.
