Animal Cube: Cut, Glue, and Learn!

Children ages 3-5 practice following a multi-step assembly sequence as they cut out a net, fold it, and glue the tabs to build a 3D cube featuring different animals, then use it as a game piece to review animal names and sounds. Assembling a flat shape into a 3D object also introduces early spatial reasoning about how 2D shapes fold into 3D forms.

Pen Control, starring your child

A pre-writing pack made for one child: their animal travels along roads, lines, waves, loops and spirals to things it loves, then round shapes and along cutting lines, all the way to their own name. Ages 2 to 5, and new paths whenever you like.

How to use this worksheet

Have your child cut carefully around the outer edge of the cube template. Fold along each line to form the cube shape, creasing firmly with a finger. Apply glue to the tabs one at a time and press each face together until the cube holds its shape. Once assembled, take turns rolling the cube and making the sound or acting out the movement of whichever animal lands face-up.

Materials needed

  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Crayons (optional)

Extension activities

  • Draw a new animal on a blank cube face and add its sound to the game.
  • Look up an interesting fact about each animal on the cube and share it before rolling again.
  • Play the cube game with siblings or friends, taking turns rolling and guessing the animal from the sound alone.
  • Make a second cube with different animals for more variety.
