Animal Babies and Parents: Cut and Paste

Match baby animals with their parents in this kindergarten and first-grade worksheet! Learners will cut out eight images of baby animals, such as a pig, lion, and penguin. Then, students must paste each baby next to its parent.

This hands-on activity will help early learners recognize how offspring can resemble their parents. Students will take notice of characteristics that are the same and that are different between animal babies and parents, which is an important understanding to have as learners are introduced to heredity and genetics.
