I know that the zoo theme has always been a favorite during the summer for kids. I also know that older kids love to have themed work as well. So today I have something for those older kids that need work on area and perimeter!<\/p>\n

It is a free zoo themed area and perimeter! And the kids get to build the cages for the animals at the zoo.<\/p>\n

We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love that this is an easy no-prep activity that can be used over and over.<\/p>\n

Each of the pages has 3 zoo animals with an area for drawing the cages and a 1 to 12 spinner. Plus there is a recording area below to record what the area and perimeter are.<\/p>\n

How we use these printables<\/h2>\n

We use a spinner to spin twice and then fill in the numbers below the square to make our drawing. We use a clear spinners<\/a>\"\" for this but you can use a paper clip and pencil.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then draw our cages using the numbers we spun. We outlined our perimeter in markers<\/a>\"\" and colored the area with crayons<\/a>\"\". Each of the squares allows having a 12 by 12 area.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you want to use these pages over and over put them in sheet protectors<\/a>\"\". That way you can draw with dry erase markers<\/a>\"\". We outlined the perimeter and then used dashes to fill in the area.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One nice part about these printables is that we can be used over and over because there are no set numbers for kids to use.<\/p>\n
