Montessori Winter Animals Theme Activities
I'm Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.A favourite author of our Virtual Book Club for Kids team is Jan Brett so for our Winter Animal Week this year we have chosen the classic tale The Mitten by this author it's beautifully illustrated and a great read aloud to share with your preschoolers. Based on a Classic Ukraine Folktale it is a wonderful story to share with your children as you talk about winter animals and how they survive with snow and ice. So scroll down for this week's activity plan for preschoolers on the theme of Winter Animals and to find more books to read together.
We have included Amazon links to the books we recommend. If you purchase via the books we may earn a small commission.
The Mitten by Jan Brett is a beautiful picture book for kids based on a classic folk tale from Ukraine. In the story, a young boys grandmother knits him a white mitten despite knowing that he will likely lose it. As he heads out for the first time he does indeed lose the mitten. But this lone white mitten becomes a haven for the winter animals to keep warm in.
