Animals Having Fun worksheets for 5 year olds

31 animals having fun worksheets pitched at 5 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with four that step up for a child who is ready for more.

A cat playing guitar, a dog surfing a wave, and a dinosaur playing soccer sit alongside a rabbit painting an Easter egg and a bunny eating a carrot, so children move between real animals, dinosaurs, and gentle fantasy scenes as they work through the set.

They assume a child who writes most uppercase and many lowercase letters, which is typical at five. If that is not there yet, the age 4 sheets are the better place to start.

Sheets in this set include Bear Fishing From A Boat Colouring Page, Zebra Jumping Rope Colouring Page and Monkey Juggling Fruit Colouring Page. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.

Sessions of ten to fifteen minutes work better than one long sitting. Print at 100% rather than fit-to-page — the gap between the guide lines is what tells a child how tall to make a letter, and shrinking it to 94% quietly undoes that.
