Free Zoo Worksheets for Preschool and Kindergarten

Have you seen my letter-themed math?  Sometimes I put together a variety of ideas focused on a particular letter, like ten math ideas for the letter T.    Other times I focus my collection around a single theme, like Letter M’s Monster Math or Letter L’s Ladybug Math.

I’m taking my boys (ages 3 and 5) on an alphabet exploration, and we’re on letter Z (no, we’re not done with the alphabet – find out why here).  This week I decided to do something I do only rarely… create a worksheet pack.

So here you are… 15 free zoo worksheets for preschool and kindergarten!

Today I’m sharing a pack of worksheets. NOT because I think worksheets are the best way to teach kids.  NOT because I’m recommending that you do stacks of worksheets with your kids.  Not because my older boys (ages 3 and 5) do a lot of worksheets. They do hardly any, in fact.

You can read more about my view on worksheets here: Are Worksheets Good or Bad?

I created these because  I knew my boys would appreciate a change of pace.  I placed the worksheets on the kitchen table and let them choose which pages to do. I sat there beside them to coach and assist as needed.

Okay. Disclaimer aside.  Here are the worksheets! 

 These level one worksheets were created for young preschoolers. My Three (3 years, 8 months)  completed them without any trouble.  They’re probably more suited to a younger three-year-old.

The covered skills are:

• counting sets up to 5
• matching shapes to their shadows
• circling which is largest
• completing very simple (ABAB) patterns
• distinguishing shapes

 These level two worksheets are good for older preschoolers. My Three was able to complete some of the pack, and my Five did a few as well (without any trouble).

The covered skills are:

• matching shapes to shadows
• basic addition
• counting objects up to 12
• completing more complex patterns
• choosing which object doesn’t belong

My Five (5 years, 4 months) is not yet in kindergarten, but he was able to do these with a little help. I think they’d work well for advanced preschoolers and children in kindergarten.

The covered skills are:

• reading a simple graph
• basic addition
• introduction to subtraction
• simple logic puzzles
• finding missing numbers up to 100

Print in grayscale if you desire.

• Handwriting Worksheets
• Transportation Worksheets for Preschool
