Adaptations: Use either the large or small pattern to cut mittens out of construction paper, foam, or felt.
  • Use the mittens to play a matching game.
  • Hide one of each mitten in the room as the children hide their eyes. Pass out the other mittens to the children and have them “meow” as they hunt around the room for the matching mitten.
  • Put rhyming pictures on mittens and have children clothespin the pictures that rhyme together.
  • Write upper and lowercase letters on mittens. Children clothespins the matching letters.
