The Kissing Hand Printable Book is a short and sweet activity to go alongside this book for your little learners at the start of a new school year.
Three printable sheets make five numbered mini-book pages plus a cover after cutting.
You will print a set of pages for each student. You can cut their pages in half or they can cut them depending on their readiness.
They will get to read, color and write as they think about how the character feels and how they feel on their first day of school.
