Here’s our entire Zoo Unit Study Pinterest board. It includes the worksheets, field trip, etc. that I have listed. Anything that wouldn’t easily save/print or had a cost was removed. Just doing a mini unit or only have pre-k? Try this ‘ways to extend a trip to the zoo‘ post! For the rest of our zoo posts, please see: Post 3 Post 2 Post 1 these may include books, movies, educational videos or worksheets used to expand our summer zoo unit study! Also a great Snack-Tivity you can do with the theme is animal cracker graphing! We’ve been working on zoo all month long and are waiting for a good day that is not raining (it’s been about 6 weeks with nearly every day full of rain!)
