Baby Animals worksheets for 5 year olds

15 baby animals worksheets pitched at 5 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 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 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.

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.

What most 5 year olds can do

  • Writes most uppercase and many lowercase letters
  • Identifies beginning sounds in spoken words
  • Adds and subtracts small quantities using pictures
  • Completes and extends simple repeating patterns

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