Children ask for animals more than any other subject, so every animal on the site ends up here. Pets come first: a sitting cat, a happy puppy and a bunny. A fox, an owl, a bear and a frog bring in the woods and the pond, a whale, a turtle, a shark and a striped fish cover the sea, and a penguin and a reindeer stand in for colder places. Farm, zoo and safari animals, bugs and dinosaurs join week by week.
One drawing of each animal becomes several printables, all in A4 and US Letter. Its coloring page has an easy version with bold outlines and a standard one with more detail. The tracing sheet follows the same outline in dashes, the drawing guide builds the animal in a few simple steps, and the dot to dots hide it in 30 to 60 or more dots. Many animals also have a maze cut in their shape.
One animal, every format
Let a child pick a favorite and take it through the set: color it, trace it, then draw it alone. A class animal week can give each day its own format. In a UK reception class these are animal colouring pages, and the bold easy outlines keep their full weight when the A4 file prints at 100 percent.
