Winter Crafts: The Mitten

The Mitten Story Craft
Winter Fun!
This is a really wonderful story to share with children. You can laminate the pieces to keep in plastic bags for later use.  Keep a large plastic bin full of them for easy access! My children love to use felt boards to tell their stories.  You can make a quick one by using a large cardboard square and hot glueing felt to cover it.  Glue velcro to the back of story pieces and they are off!   Amazon has tons of felt board story's and learning kits to use also. 
 
Print and color a paper mitten, then fill it with the forest animals. This craft accompanies the Ukrainian folktale called The Mitten.
