Polar Animal Activities
In the Polar Animals activities pack, children will learn about different animals that are able to adapt to the harsh conditions in the polar region. The activities are excellent to complete during the winter months alongside hibernation activities.
Each of the printable activities in this pack are perfect for kindergarten literacy and math centers during a unit on arctic and polar animals or when completing arctic animal week. Each activity will capture their interest and help them learn new information!
Your students will be engaged in their learning and enjoy making numbers 1 to 10, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, tracing shapes, completing puzzles, working with counting cubes, and much more.
Included in the pack is a sorting activity page which will help children distinguish between animals that live in the cold harsh polar regions of the world and dinosaurs. This cut-and-paste activity is sure to be a highlight in their learning.
I have included writing prompts and story starters in this printable pack. Having a theme like arctic animals can lead to some fun or even funny stories. Children can use the vocabulary word charts for spelling help and ideas on what to include.

Thank you, for these amazing resources! I downloaded one of the free printable packs and am excited to implement them in my classroom. Question- Are all the free printable packs available to download, or are they ‘one per customer’ so to speak? When I attempted to download another unit the page does not respond.
You can download as many as you want. If a link doesn’t work then please e-mail me to let me know. There are so many resources on Fun With Mama that it can be challenging to make sure they are all linked properly. That’s where reader help is wonderful!
