Cookie Counting

Now print the pages of animal enclosures (animal cages) in black and white or color – depending on if you are looking to save on printing costs.

I suggest you print on cardstock or laminate them for durability.

Now cut apart the animal cookies printable. Each page is cut into 4 separate cages.

Goodnight Gorilla Activity

This animal cookies math activity for preschoolers is such a fun way for kids to practice counting!

Zoo Animals Counting Activity

Now set out a box (or handful from a bag) or animal cookies. Kids will count out the number of animals as the number of the cake.  I had them put only like animals together which helped them work on visual discrimination and made sense for our activity, but you can let kids mix and match if you like.
