Jan Brett Activities

Jan Brett Activities
The Hat, by Jan Brett, free activity.

Jan Brett Activities: Jan Brett is the perfect author for this time of year. Her books and illustrations are fun to share. My students are especially fond of the windows on each page that show what is coming and what has happened. First up is The Hat since this is the book I made my first activity for because I couldn’t find anything I liked. You can find the free printable for The Hat HERE on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Next up is The Snowy Nap. I found this book to pair with Hedgie’s Surprise AND it is winter themed. It is an adorable story! Jan Brett’s stories are always fun to read and my students especially loved this one. I created a page to go along with it (and included it in the free printable set HERE)

I found a great retell activity for The Mitten HERE. These Jan Brett Activities are perfect for k-3.

The Mitten by Jan Brett

Since I teach kindergarten, I always do a retell or sequence with my students as a class. This way students who need additional support can refer back to what we created.

I also have labeling pages for The Mitten. You can find them HERE and the blog post includes a freebie!
