How it works
Zoo in bubble letters on one sideways sheet: a capital Z and two o's, the tallest word on this page in every font. Signs for a classroom zoo and headings for a zoo project follow the first print.

Signs for a pretend zoo
After your first print, open Zoo signs in bubble letters. Welcome to / the Zoo, Entrance, Tickets and Zoo / Map go at the gate, and Zookeeper fits a badge. Petting / Zoo, Reptile / House, Monkey / House, Aviary (the birds' enclosure), Aquarium, Big Cats, Polar / Bears and Sea / Lions mark the enclosures; Do Not Feed / the Animals hangs on the fence.
Headings for a zoo project
Field / Trip and Zoo / Animals head a report. Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians and Fish sort the animals, and Habitat labels where each one lives. Zoology is the study of animals and a Zoologist studies them. Safari and Safari / Park suit a page on a drive-through park.
- Petting / Zoo prints about half as tall as Zoo alone, because Petting sets the width of the sheet.
- Chewy prints Zoo tallest of the five fonts but narrows each o's hole to a slit; Fredoka keeps a small ring in each.
- Under More options, One letter per page prints Zoo as three upright sheets in two shapes.
Questions and answers
How do you draw zoo in bubble letters?
Pencil a Z and two o's with wide gaps. Round the three strokes of the Z into one fat outline, draw each o as a ring with a small circle inside, then rub out the pencil and color.
What is zoo short for?
Zoological garden. The longer name comes from zoology, the study of animals, which is built on the Ancient Greek word zoion, animal.
Which animals are the big cats?
The name sometimes covers just the five living cats of the genus Panthera: lion, tiger, leopard, snow leopard and jaguar. It may also take in other large cats, such as cheetahs and cougars.
Is zookeeper one word?
Yes. The dictionary enters zookeeper as one word: someone a zoo employs to look after its animals.
