pine tree
A habitat is the place where a living thing finds what it needs. Plants live in many habitats, and each plant has features that suit the place where it grows. A cactus stores water and has few leaves, so it can live in a dry desert. A water lily has wide floating leaves, so it grows in a pond. A pine tree has thin needles and lives in a cold forest, while seaweed grows in the ocean.
This worksheet gives ten plants, and the child circles the habitat where each one grows best: desert, ocean, pond, forest, grassland or tundra. Ask your child to think about the plant, and ask: does it need a lot of water, a lot of sun or a cold climate? Then match it to the place that offers those things.
