Soft vs. Hard Objects

This worksheet teaches students to classify objects based on texture-soft or hard. Learners examine each illustrated item and draw a line toward the category that describes how it feels. The task introduces tactile vocabulary and helps children think about physical properties. Visual reasoning is required as students infer texture based on appearance. This exercise supports early science concepts by exploring material characteristics. It also encourages critical thinking as students distinguish between objects with similar shapes but different attributes. Fine motor skills are supported through line drawing.
