Giraffe, Elephant and Mouse for Animal Letter A

A tall giraffe with a smiling face, two knobby horns and big round spots stands beside a friendly elephant with large ears, a curled tail and a long trunk that hangs down toward the ground. A small mouse sits upright at the bottom, with round ears, little paws held in front and a long tail curling behind. Across the top, a big outlined capital A and lowercase a sit next to the words "is for Animals," so kids can trace or color the letters too. Try coloring the giraffe's spots in different shades, then ask your child to name other animals that start with A. This free printable also works well for a quick letter recognition warm-up in a preschool or kindergarten lesson.
