Birds worksheets for 5 year olds

20 birds worksheets pitched at 5 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with six that step up for a child who is ready for more.

The range runs from simple, large-shaped outlines that suit younger children just getting used to a crayon, through to the more elaborate feather patterns on the open-tailed peacock, which gives older preschoolers something to sit with for longer.

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 Dove with Olive Branch Colouring Page, Swan on the Water Colouring Page and Standing Crane 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.
