The Mitten | A wintertime puppet show for early childhood

stories & storytelling storytime in the schoolhouse

In this video from Storytime in the Schoolhouse, I share a simple puppet show based on the folk tale The Mitten. Curl up with your preschooler and enjoy this silly story from Miss Becca!

Story: The Mitten

In this folk tale, an old man drops his mitten while hiking in the woods, leaving it on the forest floor. One by one, animals in the forest find the mitten and climb inside until the mitten is full of animals!

Enjoy a video of the puppet show at the top of this blog post. This puppet show was part of an episode of Storytime in the Schoolhouse. If you want to hear the audio of the full episode that includes this story, listen to episode 16 of Purple Day.
