The Mitten A Printable Book for Early Readers

Activities to Accompany The Mitten Animal Printouts

Print out the following pages to make a Mitten early reader book for early readers. Have the students cut out each page. Staple the pages together at the top of the page, then read the book and color it.

There are many versions of this old, Ukrainian folktale. Different versions have different forest animals taking refuge in a boy's lost mitten. All of the versions start with small animals entering the mitten, followed by larger and larger animals, until, unexpectedly, a small animal causes the animals to be ejected from the mitten when it splits open, explodes, or one of the animals has a big sneeze and ejects them all from the stretched-out mitten! Pick the pages you want to include in your own mitten book.

To get back to this page from a printout, just click on the picture.

Skills practiced: reading, writing, cutting, coloring.

For a pdf version of the entire book, click here (site members only).
