I Spy Animals

This I Spy animals worksheet pack features cute animals in a variety of themes – farm animals, ocean animals, pets, and many more. 

In addition to building visual discrimination skills, these worksheets will help your child count to ten and work on fine motor skills. 

As kids search for each featured animal, they can circle or cover the objects they’re looking for. Each of these options builds a different set of muscles in the hand/wrist. 

Each of the pages in this pack features a different group of animals. Students will look in the boxes at the bottom of each sheet to see which animal they’re looking for. 

As they identify the animal, they can circle it or put a counter (button, gem, etc) on it. Once they’ve found them all, have them count how many there are. Then, they’ll write the number in the box. 

Variations:

There are a number of ways to make these pages reusable. You could slip an I Spy game into a dry erase pocket and have kids color the letters with a dry erase marker. 

You can also laminate them and use dry erase markers to complete the activity pages.
