Read The Mitten by Jan Brett or another
book with the same title, The Mitten, by
Alvin Tresselt.

Make a Mitten Garland with Paper, Crayons or
Markers, Scissors, Tape and String or Yarn.

1. Draw a mitten shape or print the red
   mitten this page. Cut out the mitten.
   This will be your mitten template.
   
   

2. On white paper, trace around the mitten
   template. Trace around it 8 times if
   you want a short garland. If you want
   a long garland, keep tracing! Make as
   many mittens as you like!
   
   

3. With markers or crayons, color the mittens.
   Make each mitten different. You might
   use stripes or polka dots or color the cuff
   a different color from the rest of the
   mitten. You might ask friends or family
   members to join you in the coloring.
   
   

4. Cut out each mitten. Tape the edge of
   each mitten's cuff to the string or yarn.
   
   

5. Hang up your garland for all to see! Or
   you might give it to someone special
   as a gift.
