Build colours, shapes, and animal vocabulary with this Color Zoo story pack! Children learn 28 essential words through visual recognition – 10 colours from red to pink, 9 shapes from circles to diamonds, and 9 zoo animals from tigers to snakes. Each card features clear imagery supporting ESL learners, early readers, and foundational vocabulary development based on Lois Ehlert’s beloved book.
This comprehensive pack provides matching practice, sorting activities, and hands-on craft templates. Children develop language skills by identifying colours and shapes, matching identical and similar items, sorting by attributes, and creating personalised animal keepsakes. Perfect for Back-to-School units, Color Zoo literature connections, and building essential early learning vocabulary.
