Creating this Arctic Animals Montessori Book has seriously been on my to-do list for the last 3 or 4 years. Every winter I tell myself, “This is the year I’m going to make it!” and every year it never happens.
Or at least, that was the case until this year. I have finally completed this project and can check it off my to-do list. 🙂
You see, my kids and I did an awesome Arctic Unit Study together when they were in preschool. As part of that unit, we studied Arctic animals.
In planning that unit, I looked for kid-friendly resources about Arctic animals to share basic facts about common Arctic animals, but I wasn’t able to find something I was really happy with.
So today I’m giving you the book that I wanted back then.
Note: For more Arctic printables, see my Polar Animals and Lands Unit Study page or grab my Arctic Unit Study.

My Arctic Animals Montessori Book features 14 different Arctic animals:
- Arctic fox
- Arctic hare
- Arctic tern
- Arctic wolf
- Beluga whale
- Caribou
- Harp seal
- Musk ox
- Orca
- Polar bear
- Ptarmigan
- Puffin
- Snowy owl
- Walrus
This book pairs very nicely with the Arctic TOOB from Safari Ltd (and indeed we used the animals in the Arctic TOOB throughout our Arctic Unit.)
To give you a sense of what is in the book, here is a sneak peak at three pages from my Arctic Animals Montessori Book:



I know how time consuming it can be to print resources from online and then assemble them, so the book is designed to be very easy to put together, with virtually no cutting involved.
I hope your children will enjoy these resources, as I created them specifically for helping young kids learn to identify and appreciate the wonderful animals of our oceans.
