One of our favorite books recently has been The Mitten by Jan Brett. I found this adorable printable from Jan Brett's website that we had so much fun with.
Bekah colored the animals and I cut them out.
After the animals were colored she wanted to color the mitten.
We used double sided tape to attach the sides and top of the mitten. Then, as I read the story Bekah would put the animals into the mitten.
She had so much fun with this craft!
We also had fun doing this mitten activity that I found at childcareland.com
It follows the Brown Bear, Brown Bear idea. I had Bekah call out what colors would come next and choose that color. For example, "Red Mitten, Red Mitten, what do you see?" "I see a yellow mitten looking at me..." and so on until all the mittens are looking at me.
You can see what others are doing for their stART project at A Mommy's Adventures.
we love the book the mitten
ReplyDeleteJan Brett's website is AWESOME! Exposing your daughter to such beautiful art work is a great thing!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of Ryleigh's favorite books too :)
ReplyDeleteVery neat activity from Jan Brett. I love that those books have so many printables to go along with them.
ReplyDeleteI think its great that there are printables available to enhance little one's experience with the books :)
ReplyDeleteNice craft. Bekah clearly likes to color. I can recommend another Jan Brett book that is just like Mitten but is set in Rainforest. It's called The Umbrella. We enjoyed reading it more than Mitten even though I still don't like quarreling animals.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE the Mitten... what a fun go-along project. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter did this craft in 4K. I wondered where her teacher found the printable. Thanks for posting it! :)
