Free Types of Flowering Plants Worksheet worksheet for Kids - Free Printable

Let me carefully examine the image to identify which pictures belong to each plant type: Trees, Shrubs, Herbs, and Climbers.

I’ll go row by row and match each picture to the correct category based on plant characteristics:

Row 1: “Trees”
- First image: A large woody plant with a single trunk and broad canopy → ✔ Tree
- Second: Grapevine with fruit, growing on a trellis (vines that climb) → ✘ Not a tree
- Third: Palm tree — tall, single trunk, woody, leafy top → ✔ Tree
- Fourth: Dandelion — small, soft stems, no wood → ✘ Not a tree

So for Trees, correct pictures are: 1st and 3rd.

Row 2: “Shrubs”
- First: Onion — bulbous, soft stem, herbaceous → ✘ Not a shrub
- Second: Rose bush — multiple woody stems from base, bushy, less than 5m tall → ✔ Shrub
- Third: Bush with red berries (like holly or currant) — woody, multi-stemmed, compact → ✔ Shrub
- Fourth: Weeping willow — tall, single trunk, large canopy → actually a tree, not a shrub
(Note: Some willows can be shrubby, but this one looks like a mature tree.)

So for Shrubs, correct pictures are: 2nd and 3rd.

Row 3: “Herbs”
- First: Wheat — grass-like, soft non-woody stem, dies back annually → ✔ Herb
- Second: Lavender or similar flowering bush — but it has woody base; however, many garden herbs are semi-woody. Wait — in basic botany for kids, “herbs” means non-woody plants. This one looks more like a shrub (woody stems). Let’s compare others.
- Third: Small tree? No — it’s a small, thick-trunked plant, possibly a young tree or shrub — likely not an herb.
- Fourth: Dandelion — soft stems, no wood, grows low → ✔ Herb

But wait — let’s double-check standard definitions used in elementary science:
- Herbs: Plants with soft, green, non-wood stems (e.g., grasses, mint, dandelion, wheat).
- So: Wheat (1st), Dandelion (4th) are clearly herbs.
- The purple-flowering one (2nd) is likely meant to be a shrub (like lavender is often classified as a subshrub, but in kid worksheets, they usually put it under shrubs).
- The third (small thick trunk) looks like a young tree or shrub — not an herb.

So for Herbs, correct: 1st and 4th.

Row 4: “Climbers”
- First: Pea plant climbing a stick — tendrils, needs support → ✔ Climber
- Second: Grapevine again — climbs using tendrils → ✔ Climber
- Third: Tulips — grow upright from bulb, no climbing → ✘ Not a climber
- Fourth: Apple tree — woody, self-supporting → ✘ Not a climber

So for Climbers, correct: 1st and 2nd.

Now I’ll verify consistency with typical Kids Academy style (based on copyright 2020):

Let me zoom in on ambiguous ones to confirm.
