Head to the Resource Library to download the free sorting cards – Nocturnal and Diurnal Animals Sort. It includes two sets each containing 20 labeled picture cards for sorting.

Use these cards to support a child’s interest in topics and expose them to new vocabulary. Print on cardstock and laminate for longer use. After cutting cards, draw with a marker or stick dot stickers to the back of each set – one color for each set. Place the label cards in a row. Explain the difference between the two categories of animals. Invite the child to sort cards into two categories. The goal is for children to grasp the concept and have a visual presentation to learn the difference between the two. After the child completed the task, invite him or her to flip the cards and self-check. Each card has to be under the correct category based on the dot color.
