This worksheet is designed to help children learn the difference between
living and
non-living things. The task is to
cut out the pictures at the bottom and
paste them into the correct category:
Living or
Nonliving.
Let’s go through each image and determine whether it's living or non-living:
---
🔹 Living Things (organisms that grow, breathe, eat, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and eventually die):
1.
Dolphin –
✔ Living (an animal)
2.
Palm tree –
✔ Living (a plant)
3.
Butterfly –
✔ Living (an insect)
4.
Monkey –
✔ Living (an animal)
5.
Flower (sunflower) –
✔ Living (a plant)
6.
Girl –
✔ Living (a human)
✔ So, these 6 items belong in the
"Living" column.

🔹 Non-Living Things (objects that do not grow, eat, reproduce, or respond to stimuli on their own):
1.
Muffin –
✘ Non-living (food made by humans)
2.
Cloud with rain and lightning –
✘ Non-living (weather phenomenon)
3.
Castle tower –
✘ Non-living (man-made structure)
4.
Soccer ball –
✘ Non-living (object made of materials)
5.
Ambulance –
✘ Non-living (vehicle)
6.
Trash can –
✘ Non-living (container)
✔ These 6 items belong in the
"Nonliving" column.
