animal jam paper toys printables – lost temple of zios

Animal Jam, in association with National Geographic, and Small for Big are starting a great new partnership! I’ll be creating printable animal toys for you to download, print, and assemble your own animals and environments: with a different land and its animals featured each month. Today is the second land in our series.

Animal Jam, in association with National Geographic, is an online virtual playground for kids. Players create and customize their own animal characters and dens, chat with friends, adopt pets, team up for adventures, ask real scientists questions, and feed their curiosity about animals and the natural world around them. All the educational content is free, though there is a membership option for additional play.

The game includes several different lands to explore. In the last two months we looked at Appondale, which is based in the Savannah, and Kimbara, which looks to the outback. This month, it’s time for the lush jungles of the Lost Temple of Zios. (this may be my favorite so far – I love lost temples!). Download to create your own temple, gate, tiger, monkey, and panda!
