( I found our mitten at the local thrift store, and the animals are by Safari Ltd. I used about half the jar of glitter for a doubled dough recipe… We read the story together, and I brought each plastic animal out as they appeared in the story and let the smalls put them in the mitten. This is what you will need to build this book-inspired play activity… You can use your favourite play dough recipe and just add glitter to give the play dough a snowy sparkle. Have you ever tried to find a toy mole? Anyway, the smalls didn’t mind. No, the animals are not to scale with each other, nor with the mitten, and we don’t have a mole. I have wanted to create a small world activity for this book for a really long while. The forest creatures come one by one, seeking shelter in the warmth of the mitten, and well, you’ll have to read the rest yourself… Nicky does indeed, lose one mitten in the snow. His grandmother worries he will lose them in the snow and not be able to see them. It’s a story of a young boy who wanted his grandmother to knit him mittens the colour of the snow. Her attention to detail is so incredible, that each time we read the story, we find something we didn’t see before…it’s magic. “Once there was a boy named Nicki who wanted his new mittens made from wool as white as snow.” ~Jann Brett, The Mittenįrom the time my oldest children were small, we have loved the story of The Mitten.
