Reptiles & Amphibians worksheets

This set brings together the scaly, slimy and sometimes slightly odd creatures children ask about after a trip to the zoo or a nature documentary. There's a Komodo dragon for anyone fascinated by something enormous and prehistoric-looking, a gentle Frog and Tree frog for younger colorers, and a fine-detailed Snake for children who like to work slowly along a long, winding shape. An Axolotl with its feathery gills and permanent smile is one of the more unusual additions, alongside toads and other pond and jungle dwellers. Difficulty varies across the 19 pages, from simple outlines suited to threes and fours up to busier scenes with more pattern and texture for older children. Coloring them is a low-pressure way to talk about habitats, textures and how different an axolotl looks from a toad, while building the same steady pencil control every page in this collection is designed to encourage.
