Animal Homes and Shelters – Where Do Animals Live?

Animals find shelter in a wide variety of places from hives and holes to warrens and lodges!  These animal homes and shelters worksheets help students learn about the homes of these 10 animals: fox, beaver, hermit crab,  sea turtle, raccoons, bats,  blue jay, bees, eastern tent caterpillars, and rabbits.

These pages have been added to the 100+ page Animal Packet!

These worksheets on animal homes and shelters includes color or black & white options. Pages in this section include: identify the animal and/or identify the animal shelter. There is a tracing page of the animals.  There is also a matching page for animals and their homes. You will also find Montessori-style matching cards for this section.

These pages have been added to the Animal Packet. As many of you know, we have a 75+ page animal packet that is about the different types of animals (vertebrates, invertebrates), animal characteristics, insects vs. spiders, domesticated vs. wild animals, animal tracks and much more! You will find the worksheets on where animals live on pages 70 to 86.

What else is included in the Animal Packet?

Earlier this year, I added in new notebook pages and sorting cards about animal body coverings: feathers, fur, scales and skin. That includes a couple of notebook pages about why animal’s body coverings are so different.  Younger students can use the tracing pages provided.  There is also a set of sorting cards and a sorting mat as well as a practice worksheet for the different types of body coverings.

Here are some other pictures of the Animal Packet:

• Animal Body Coverings – feathers, fur, scales, skin
• Types of Animals and Animal Characteristics – In this section, we go over some of the traits common to mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish (ie. having a backbone, being warm (or cold) blooded, feeding their young with milk, laying eggs… etc. etc.)
• Types of Animal cut-and-paste activity (below)
• “What Am I?” Identify worksheet
• Types of Animals – Exceptions! — Did you know that the platypus is a mammal that lays eggs?  This notebook page talks about some exceptions to traits discussed above
• Insects vs. spiders
• Invertebrate groups — and their characteristics (legs, no legs, antenna or no antenna, etc.)
• Animal and their Tracks – Montessori 3-part cards (which you can use to play a “Memory Game” – placing all the cards face down and trying to pick out matches); also animal and their tracks matching pages
• Wild vs. Domesticated Animals – Sorting Cards; Notebook Pages
• Nocturnal vs. Diurnal Animals – Sorting Cards, identification page
• Whose Tongue? – Fun identification page, notebook page
• Animal Homes & Shelters

Note: If your kids are a bit older (upper elementary, middle school) the Scientific Classification and Taxonomy Unit might be a better fit.

As I said above, if your kids are a bit older (upper elementary, middle school) the Scientific Classification and Taxonomy Unit might be a better fit.  We did this Animal Unit several years ago and just this year we did an entire unit on scientific classification & taxonomy.
