Printable Day and Night Sorting Activity for Toddlers - Free Printable

Let’s look at the pictures and find which ones go together.

We can group them by what they show — like things that happen during the day, or things that happen at night.

First, let’s pick out the daytime things:
- The sun (top left) → it shines in the day.
- The boy reading (top middle) → he’s awake, so probably daytime.
- The butterfly (top right) → butterflies fly in the day.
- The bird singing (second row, left) → birds sing in the morning/day.
- The sunglasses (second row, middle) → you wear them when it’s sunny outside.
- The window with a view of mountains and sailboats (second row, right) → looks like a bright daytime scene.

Now, nighttime things:
- The sleeping child under stars and moon (third row, left) → clearly night.
- The window showing night sky with stars and moon (third row, middle) → also night.
- The smiling star (third row, right) → stars come out at night.
- The crescent moon with small stars (bottom row, left) → night again.
- The sleeping dog (bottom row, middle) → dogs sleep at night too.
- The lamp (bottom row, right) → we turn on lamps when it’s dark, usually at night.

So, if we’re grouping by “day” vs “night”, here’s how they split:

Daytime:
1. Sun
2. Boy reading
3. Butterfly
4. Bird singing
5. Sunglasses
6. Window with daytime view

Nighttime:
1. Sleeping child under moon/stars
2. Window with night sky
3. Smiling star
4. Crescent moon with stars
5. Sleeping dog
6. Lamp

That’s 6 for day and 6 for night — perfect match!

Final Answer:
Group the images into two sets:
✔ Daytime: Sun, Boy reading, Butterfly, Bird singing, Sunglasses, Window with daytime view
✔ Nighttime: Sleeping child, Window with night sky, Smiling star, Crescent moon, Sleeping dog, Lamp
