I most definitely cannot take credit for this adorable area lesson for 2nd grade idea, I saw it on Pinterest, then remembered to do the activity from my wonderful teaching friend.
Area Critters!
Well, some critters and other whatnots.
All you need is:
- 1 in. graph paper
- Construction paper
- pencils and crayons
- Imaginative kiddos
My 2nd graders had a great time with this activity.
Here’s what some of my darlings came up with:

Aren’t the turtles cute? |

T-Rex |

Snowy Owl |
not a critter, but a birthday cake!
I thought that they were pretty original!
Don’t have any graph paper? You can find it here through my Amazon Affiliate link (if you purchase something through this link I get a small commission with no cost to you! Thank you for your support!)
