Some people can be found on the slopes, snow and wind in their hair. Others, like me, prefer the cozier aspect of winter. And nothing screams winter like warm, adorable, fluffy mittens.
In Jan Brett’s book The Mitten, animals feel the same pull as us, using the mitten as their home.
In this project, kids get to imagine what their own mitten mansion would look like and include their own patterns and colors to contrast or blend in with the swirling winter landscape of blues and whites.
You don’t need hard to find supplies for this one. Blue and white tempera make up the background, while any construction or sulphite paper can be used with the mittens. Add some crayon touches, and you’re done. It’s perfect for all ages.
