Natural Resources Practice Activities

Printable Nursery, LKG and UKG science activities that help children recognise air, water, soil, sunlight, trees and other natural resources around them.

Practice that builds confidence

What children learn

These Natural Resources practice activities introduce young children to the things nature gives us, such as air, water, soil, sunlight, plants, trees and rocks. Children practise noticing where these resources are found and how people, animals and plants use them every day.

The printable worksheets include picture-based tasks such as matching, colouring, circling, sorting and simple observation prompts. They are designed for Nursery, LKG and UKG learners who are building early science vocabulary through familiar examples from home, school and the environment.

Natural resources can feel like a big idea, so these worksheets begin with what children can see and talk about: drinking water, the sun in the sky, soil in a plant pot, trees in a park, air in a balloon and stones on the ground. Children learn that these things come from nature and help living things. The focus is recognition, naming and simple use, not long definitions.

Progression across the activities

The practice moves from identifying single pictures to comparing groups. A child may first colour a tree or circle water, then match a resource to its use, such as sunlight helping plants grow. Sorting activities help children tell natural things from man-made objects, while picture-talk pages encourage them to say sentences like, “We use water to drink” or “Plants need soil.”

Parent routine at home

Use one worksheet with a short real-life walk-through. Before starting, show your child a glass of water, a potted plant, sunlight near a window or soil in the garden. Ask, “Is this from nature?” and “How do we use it?” After the activity, let the child point to one natural resource at home and say one way to care for it, such as not wasting water.

Classroom uses for teachers

Teachers can use these pages during Environment lessons, picture reading, EVS readiness or science corners. They work well as small-group table tasks after a nature walk, as a follow-up to rhymes about the sun and rain, or as an independent colouring and matching activity. The worksheets also support oral language because children can name, describe and compare each resource.

Common errors to watch for

Some children may call every outdoor object a natural resource, including cars, taps or buildings. Gently guide them by asking whether nature made it or people made it. Others may know the picture but not the word, for example saying “mud” for soil. Accept the idea first, then model the science word clearly. Avoid making the topic abstract; young learners understand best through pictures and objects.

Why iBloom worksheets help

The pages use large, clear visuals and age-appropriate actions like colour, match, tick and circle. A simple child-friendly strategy is: “Look, name, use.” First look at the picture, then name the resource, then say how it helps us. This keeps the learning concrete and helps Nursery, LKG and UKG children connect science with daily life.
