Layers of Soil Cut, Glue and Color

Pick the page that fits each child, from cut and glue to tracing. A grown-up reads the labels aloud, then children color each layer of the soil.

Three pages after the cover, each with the same drawing of the ground cut open to show 5 layers. Page 1 has 5 labels to cut out and glue in the boxes, page 2 has a word bank to copy the layer names from, and page 3 has the names to trace: humus, topsoil, subsoil, weathered rock and bedrock. Answer key included.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

6 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 World Soil Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our World Soil Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
