Product description

From the author

Little Red Hen Puppets Bring the classic fable of the Little Red Hen to life for young students with this engaging puppet set. Students will love coloring and cutting out characters like the Little Red Hen, cat, pig and duck. Teachers can use the puppets to lead whole-class read alouds, allowing students to actively participate by acting out different roles. Small groups can also use the puppets to reenact the Little Red Hen's adventures, practicing retelling key details from the story. The puppets work well for kinesthetic learners, making reading comprehension interactive and hands-on. Use them to build early literacy skills, reinforce reading response, and get students excited about reading time. With creative extensions like adding backdrop scenes or speech bubbles, the puppets offer versatile ways to reach a variety of learning styles. Simple and ready-to-use, these Little Red Hen puppets bring an essential piece of children's literature off the page.
