Clip, match, and munch your way through the alphabet with this hungry lion! Clothespin mane matching builds pincer grip, while feeding the lion strengthens letter recognition, and that’s something to roar about.

Match magnetic letters to animals A to Z on this zoo map, then build a brand-new zoo and map it out yourself! Add a write-the-room animal hunt, and letter recognition, beginning sounds, and early writing skills are on the loose.

Flip, rhyme, and mark your way to three in a row in this animal bingo game! Each match strengthens rhyme recognition, an important early reading skill, and kids will beg for just one more round.

Discover what animal feet are made for, then match each animal to its tracks with self-correcting puzzles! Press the tracks into play dough to build observation skills and fine motor strength, one stomp at a time.

Take a counting safari through the zoo! Count the animals in their habitats on each card, then take the fun home with a coloring booklet. Kids practice one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and fine motor skills while they go wild for numbers.

Go bananas for beginning sounds! Name each picture and feed the monkey a banana when it matches his letter, building listening skills and letter-sound connections.

Help these giraffes stand tall by snapping cubes together to build each neck, matching the number on the head! It’s a neck-and-neck race to strengthen counting, number recognition, and little fingers.

Monkey around with measurement! Link monkeys and vines, count each one, and decide which is longer or shorter. Use toy monkeys and linking chains or the printables to get early math skills swinging into action.

Waddle through the alphabet with penguins A to Z! Follow the arrows to trace or write each letter on the ice, building proper letter formation and pencil control that’s so cool for kids.

It’s closing time at the zoo! Build each animal enclosure with play dough, then find the matching shape key to lock it up for the night. This hands-on activity builds shape recognition and fine motor strength before the animals get away.

Slither into patterns! Learn how patterns work with a helpful poster, then string pony beads on pipe cleaners to copy each snake’s colorful design. This hands-on activity builds patterning, early math reasoning, and fine motor strength.

It’s feeding time at the zoo! Scoop the matching number of grassy green rice into each hungry giraffe, zebra, elephant, and rhino’s mouth. This sensory bin builds counting, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor control, one scoop at a time.

Calling all zookeepers! Follow a daily checklist to feed, train, and care for the animals, design their habitats, and wow the crowd with fun facts during keeper talks. Kids grow vocabulary, responsibility, and imagination while they play.
