Support early science learning with this Land or Ocean Animal Sorting Activity. Designed for EYFS and KS1 learners, this cut and paste resource helps children identify and classify animals based on where they live—on land or in the ocean.
Learners will examine animal images and decide whether each one belongs in a land habitat or an ocean habitat. This activity builds foundational understanding of animal habitats while also supporting fine motor development, critical thinking, and early classification skills.
