I have a fun activity that I used to do with my class when we read the mitten. Very simple- All you need is a blanket or sleeping bag and I found printables online of the characters in the book. I passed them out to the children and as I read the book I had each character pile into "the mitten" (blanket or sleeping bag. The kids LOVE it!
Hmm...that reminds me of a similar activity we did when I taught too! I think I'll have to do a post on that. Thanks for the idea and sparking my memory! :)
Nice collection. This would keep the kids busy for the winters. Especially with the sub zero temperature and very little to do outside, a good book can be a best gift for the kids.
