Today's story - The Little Red Hen. It's a traditional tale which has been adapted many times. We read the ladybird board book version which is about a hen and her friends the cat, the rat and the pig.
I also found an old ladybird edition on my shelf
and this lovely book by Lucy Cousins with eight traditional tales including The Little Red Hen
Invitations to Play
I'll just put the pictures to show you this time as they sum it up nicely -
Story Props
The Little red hen puppet, a pig, a cat and a rat, some wheat, some grain and some flour.
We baked some loaves of bread to share for a snack
Carpet time at the end
We sang Old MacDonald had a farm, with the hen, the cat, the rat and the pig. The children then chose which other animals might be on the farm. This got a bit silly and we had "a carrot" among other things!
