The Mitten by Jan Brett

Gathering Time:
Pull out a bag full of clothing- some items will be things you were in the winter and others not.  Each item is pulled out one at a time and decide if we should wear it in the winter or not.  Have the children put on the items to be worn in the winter time.
Read “The Mitten” by Jan Brett (Use the animals and mitten)
Sing “The Mitten in the Snow” tune of Farmer in the Dell
Guess how many toy animals will fit in a mitten and then fill it up to find out
Focus Activities:
Make a mural (scene) from the book
 Mitten Lacing Card
Mitten File Folder Matching Game
Decorate a paper mitten

    I love the mitten lacing card. Isn't Jan Brett's website great? It's so nice that she provides all those great printables! Thanks for sharing, I think we're going to do these activities this week.
