Mittens Craft Activity

If you are reading, “The Mitten,” by Jan Brett, this Mitten Craft is a wonderful activity to pair with it. I also love it for a study on pairs! Patterns are kid-friendly, easy prep, and will make the cutest winter themed bulletin board.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
• Coloring templates (a separate 3 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter m
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
