Free printable habitat, living/non-living and recycling sorts — customize, then print.
These sheets are early science, not a full science course. Children look at a picture, decide what they see, and sort it. One activity asks where an animal lives. Another asks whether something is alive. The third asks how everyday materials can be grouped for recycling. Each generator makes a fresh mix, so the same child can sort again without memorising one poster.

Cut and sort pictures into living and non-living.
Cut and sort items into Paper, Plastic, Metal or Compost.
Animal Habitats comes first: the child already knows the animal and only has to choose its home — farm, ocean, forest or jungle. Living / Non-living Sort is the broader question — is this thing alive? A dog and a tree both go under Living because they grow; a chair does not. Recycling Sort uses the same cut-and-glue habit on everyday materials: paper, plastic, metal and compost. World Flags stays on Creative & Colouring; it is a colouring sheet, not a science sort.
