The Mitten – Free Animal Printable Activities

The Mitten by Jan Brett

Have you read Jan Brett’s wonderful book, The Mitten (affiliate link), to your kids?  Mine loved this book and years ago we did a number of activities to go along with that. Below you’ll find a free printable packet about the Animals from The Mitten.   🙂

One page has the eight animals featured in this story and a space for the child write in the name of the animal: mole, rabbit, hedgehog, owl, badger, fox, bear, and  meadow mouse.  There is a tracing and matching worksheet. Another page has space for kids to write in what they learn about these animals. Finally, there are some lapbook pieces along with some basic information cards that the kids can glue into the center of the lapbook piece. These are all FREE to download!  Let me know if they come in useful!
