Farm Animals and Their Babies Matching Worksheet | Ages 5-7 - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to match each mother animal on the left with her baby on the right.

Look at each animal one by one:

1. Horse (mare) → Her baby is a foal (baby horse). On the right, find the small brown horse-like baby — that’s the foal.
2. Goose → Her baby is a gosling. That’s the yellow fluffy chick-looking bird — but wait, ducks and geese have similar babies. In this worksheet, the goose matches with the white duckling? No — let’s check carefully. Actually, in farm animals, goose baby = gosling, which looks like a small gray or yellow bird. But here, the goose is matched with the white duckling? Wait — no, let’s look again.

Actually, let’s list them clearly:

Left side (mothers):
- Horse
- Goose
- Turkey
- Pig
- Cow
- Sheep (partially visible at bottom)

Right side (babies):
- Duckling (yellow)
- Calf (brown baby cow)
- Chick (yellow baby chicken)
- Lamb (white baby sheep)
- Foal (brown baby horse)
- Gosling? Or maybe turkey poult?

Wait — let’s match properly using common knowledge:

✔ Horse → Foal (baby horse)
✔ Goose → Gosling — but in the image, the goose is next to a white duckling? Hmm — actually, in many worksheets, they simplify: goose baby is shown as a small white bird — so we’ll go with that. But let’s see the actual pairs from standard matching:

Standard matches:

- Horse → Foal
- Goose → Gosling (often drawn as small white/yellow bird)
- Turkey → Poult (small dark bird)
- Pig → Piglet (pink little pig)
- Cow → Calf
- Sheep → Lamb

Now looking at the right column:

From top to bottom:
1. Yellow duckling/chick? → Actually, first one is labeled “duck” in some versions — but here it’s just pictures.

Let’s number the right-side babies from top to bottom:

1. Yellow bird (looks like duckling or chick)
2. Brown calf
3. Yellow chick
4. White lamb
5. Brown foal
6. Pink piglet
7. Dark turkey poult?
8. Small goat? Wait — there are 8 babies? Let me recount.

Actually, looking at the full sheet:

Left has 6 mothers (horse, goose, turkey, pig, cow, sheep)

Right has 6 babies? Wait — in the main sheet, right side has:

Top to bottom:
- Duckling (yellow)
- Calf
- Chick
- Lamb
- Foal
- Piglet
- Turkey poult?
Wait — no, let’s count dots.

Each mother has a dot, each baby has a dot — 6 on each side.

So:

Mothers (left, top to bottom):
1. Horse
2. Goose
3. Turkey
4. Pig
5. Cow
6. Sheep

Babies (right, top to bottom):
1. Duckling (yellow bird) — but goose baby should be here?
Wait — perhaps the first baby is for goose? But goose baby is gosling, which may look like duckling.

Actually, in many educational materials, they use:

- Goose → gosling (shown as small white or yellow bird)
- Duck → duckling (also small yellow bird) — but here no duck mother, only goose.

Perhaps the first baby (yellow bird) is for goose.

Then:

2. Calf → for cow
3. Chick → for turkey? No — turkey baby is poult, not chick. Chick is for chicken — but there’s no chicken mother. Wait — turkey mother is there.

This is confusing. Let’s think differently.

Standard correct matches:

- Horse → Foal
- Goose → Gosling
- Turkey → Poult
- Pig → Piglet
- Cow → Calf
- Sheep → Lamb

Now assign positions:

Assume babies on right are listed as:

Position 1: Gosling (for goose) — yellow/white bird
Position 2: Calf (for cow)
Position 3: Chick? But no chicken — unless turkey is mistaken. Actually, turkey baby is called poult, and it looks like a small dark bird.

In the image, third baby is yellow chick — that might be for... wait, there’s no chicken mother. Unless the "chick" is meant for turkey? That’s incorrect.

Perhaps I misidentified.

Looking back at user's image description — the right side babies are:

From top:
- Duckling (but no duck mother) — maybe it’s gosling for goose
- Calf
- Chick
- Lamb
- Foal
- Piglet
- And then two more? Wait, the sheet shows 8 items? No — let’s count the dots.

In the main worksheet, left has 6 animals, right has 6 babies.

List of babies in order (top to bottom) based on typical such worksheets:

1. Gosling (goose baby) — often depicted as small yellow bird
2. Calf (cow baby)
3. Poult (turkey baby) — small dark bird
4. Piglet (pig baby)
5. Foal (horse baby)
6. Lamb (sheep baby)

But in the image, the third baby is yellow chick — that doesn’t fit turkey.

Unless the turkey is matched with the chick? That’s wrong.

Perhaps the "chick" is actually the poult? Sometimes they draw it similarly.

To resolve this, let’s use logic:

The only logical matches are:

- Horse → Foal (baby horse)
- Cow → Calf
- Pig → Piglet
- Sheep → Lamb
- Goose → Gosling (small bird)
- Turkey → Poult (small dark bird)

In the right column, if we assume:

Baby 1: Gosling (for goose)
Baby 2: Calf (for cow)
Baby 3: Poult (for turkey) — even if it looks like chick, it’s meant to be turkey baby
Baby 4: Lamb (for sheep)
Baby 5: Foal (for horse)
Baby 6: Piglet (for pig)

But then the order on right is:

1. Gosling
2. Calf
3. Poult
4. Lamb
5. Foal
6. Piglet

And mothers on left:

1. Horse → should match to Foal (position 5)
2. Goose → Gosling (position 1)
3. Turkey → Poult (position 3)
4. Pig → Piglet (position 6)
5. Cow → Calf (position 2)
6. Sheep → Lamb (position 4)

Yes, that makes sense.

So the matching is:

Mother (left position) → Baby (right position)

1. Horse → 5 (Foal)
2. Goose → 1 (Gosling)
3. Turkey → 3 (Poult)
4. Pig → 6 (Piglet)
5. Cow → 2 (Calf)
6. Sheep → 4 (Lamb)

Now, to present the answer clearly for the student.

Final Answer:
Match each mother to her baby as follows:

- Horse → Foal (the baby horse)
- Goose → Gosling (the small yellow/white bird)
- Turkey → Poult (the small dark bird)
- Pig → Piglet (the small pink pig)
- Cow → Calf (the brown baby cow)
- Sheep → Lamb (the white fluffy baby sheep)

In terms of connecting the dots:

Connect the first animal (horse) to the fifth baby (foal).
Connect the second animal (goose) to the first baby (gosling).
Connect the third animal (turkey) to the third baby (poult).
Connect the fourth animal (pig) to the sixth baby (piglet).
Connect the fifth animal (cow) to the second baby (calf).
Connect the sixth animal (sheep) to the fourth baby (lamb).
