FREE Animal Tracks Puzzles — Printable Nature Activity for Kids (Instant Download)

Take your nature study indoors with these free printable Animal Tracks Puzzles! Kids match animals to their tracks in a fun puzzle format that builds observation skills and introduces wildlife identification — no muddy hiking boots required (although those are fun too).

This printable is a collaboration with Embark on the Journey.

What’s Included

This instant download features puzzle-style matching activities where kids connect animals to the tracks they leave behind. It’s a hands-on way to learn about different animals and their footprints — knowledge that becomes incredibly exciting when kids spot real tracks on a nature walk.

Ways to Use Animal Tracks Puzzles

Nature study companion: Use these puzzles before or after a nature walk. Before the walk, introduce the tracks so kids know what to look for. After the walk, see if they can match any tracks they spotted to the animals in the puzzle.

Science lesson starter: Animal tracks make a great entry point into lessons about habitats, animal behavior, and ecosystems. Why do different animals have different shaped tracks? What can tracks tell us about how an animal moves?

Winter activity: Animal tracks are easiest to spot in snow or mud. These puzzles pair perfectly with winter nature study when tracks are abundant outside.

Camping or outdoor school: Print these before your next camping trip or outdoor school day. Kids can become junior trackers and try to identify real animal prints they discover.
