Marvelous Mittens

We typically complete this unit in January. Here are some of my favorite books to read aloud during this theme:

Jan Brett’s website is a fabulous resource for any of her books. Here are some of the free printables that she has available for her book, “The Mitten”:

Mitten Character Masks I laminated these and stapled them to craft sticks. I place them at a center, and students use these masks to retell the story.

Put the Animals in the Mitten Activity this can either be colored and laminated for story sequencing, or your students can make their own to take home.

Marcia Goudie has created some great printables available from her website that she shares:

Mitten Counters these cards can be used for several activities, such as counting and matching. They would also make a fun memory game!

Animals of the Mitten Worksheet use this worksheet to create patterns or for word problems. It’s very cute!

Colorful ABC Mittens these are full color and would be perfect for building words!

Mitten Sight Words these would be perfect for a center activity. Just copy or print onto cardstock, laminate and then cut out words. Students can play memory or sight word games with these cards.

Mitten Manipulative Pouch students can use this to store all of their manipulatives from this unit

Mitten/Hat Stationary use this for your seasonal writing with your students.
