Inside: A free set of sorting worksheets for preschool.
Sorting and categorizing are beginning math skills that are practiced during preschool years a lot. Therefore I created this set of sorting worksheets for preschool to provide parents and teachers with a free and fun resource.
Children will sort pictures according to common attributes such as temperature or animal habitat.
These worksheets are colorful and easy for preschoolers to understand.
Preschool Sorting Worksheets
Sorting is an important skill for future more complex math learning. It teaches children about similarities and differences, grouping objects together, logical thinking and more.
Many preschool-aged children naturally sort and organize toys during their free play.
And we can build on this interest even further and help them out by providing more structured categorizing activities such as these sorting worksheets.
Sorting and categorizing worksheets
My sorting worksheets for preschool are based on sorting objects by various attributes.
If your children have already mastered sorting by the basic characteristics such as color, sorting by size, or shape, today’s printable will allow you to introduce other concepts.
Whether they are learning about farm animals or about healthy foods, this activity is a great addition to any preschool lesson plan.

More ideas for sorting activities
There are many toys and toy sets available these days for hands-on learning. But you can always use everyday objects to teach or reinforce sorting skills in preschoolers. Here are just a few ideas:
- For sorting by color use colorful buttons, pom poms, lego pieces or blocks.
- For sorting by shape make your own shapes like one mama on this blog or get different shapes buttons that will work great for sorting purposes as well as future crafts or activities.
- To sort animals by their habitat you can find different tubes of animals that will work just right.
