At each sign where a new animal "joins in the cozy mitten", we had a peanut butter jar tied to the sign. In it, were cut-outs of that particular animal (eight total.)  All available from Jan Brett's website https://www.janbrett.com/pdfcards/pdfcardgenerator_mitten.htm
At the end of the story trail, the kids had a collection of the same animals they met along the trail and could recreate The Mitten story at home with their OWN mitten! Tons of great feedback (via a QR code at the last sign.) 

Jan Brett has lots of great books, activities, and printables on her site. https://janbrett.com/

Gross! https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479936256 This was a fun book to use in conjunction with our Pollinator Festival in July/August. - Karen Pryor]]> 2023-02-13 17:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479936256 Flowers Are Pretty... Weird! https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479947459 Another fun book, this time about flower instead of butterflies. - Karen Pryor]]> 2023-02-13 17:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479947459 Sacred Song of the Hermit Thrush https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479953713 My husband actually picked this up for me in his hometown, which is on a Native American reservation. Not only is it an interesting Native American Legend, but the illustrations are also excellent. I use it to kick off a lesson on bird songs. - Karen Pryor]]> 2023-02-13 17:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479953713 Salamander Dance https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479959740 I may be biased, because this author is also a good friend, but this is a beautiful book to use in the spring when talking about vernal pools and the amphibians that use them. - Karen Pryor]]> 2023-02-13 17:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fboyens1/64wmd32s2q54x7sx/wish/2479959740
