Baby Zoo Hop

Bring zoo animals into your classroom!

Kids love to see animals at the zoo! Our Baby Zoo Animal Hop can make learning about these wild critters a fun, movement-based activity! This hop mat is ideal for preschoolers and kindergartners and encourages kinesthetic activities such as stepping and hopping.

Baby Zoo Animal Hop features illustrations of common animals at the zoo that are sure to capture the imagination of young learners. This list of zoo animals has 7 different types of animals and well as their matching baby animals. At 38 inches wide and 92 inches long, this mat has plenty of space for multiple students to play and learn.

After using this mat, students will be able to identify common zoo creatures. They will also learn how to read the animal names, which promotes their letter and word recognition skills.

Make learning the types of animals found in a zoo an engaging, hands-on activity for kids! Movement-based learning helps boost students’ learning comprehension while aiding in the development of gross motor skills.
