Hibernation Unit Study Ideas
A hibernation unit study is a fun and fascinating science topic. Kids will love learning about how their favorite animals spend the winter months!
You can use the resources below to put together your own hibernation unit study, including the free printable hibernation color by number pages.
Hibernating Animals Color by Number Pages
These cute sleepy animals will help your littlest learners discover hibernation alongside your elementary children with the other resources included in this post. I always love unit studies that can combine a wide range of ages and this one will work for that!
The animals included in these free coloring pages are:
- raccoon
- fox
- turtle
- groundhog
- bear
- frog
You can print these hibernation color by number pages to keep the little ones busy while you read aloud from the selection of books listed below. It’s a perfect quiet activity for busy hands! It can help them focus and concentrate while you read or help the older ones with the other activities.
I’ve found that preschoolers often want to “do school” alongside their older siblings. These free hibernation color by number pages will help them do that, along with developing fine motor skills, color recognition, and following directions.
