This past week we read The Three Little Pigs for preschool and had quite a bit of fun, so I thought I’d share some pictures. We used this version by Paul Galdone as well as several retellings. The kids loved The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury as well as The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith.
We did lots of literacy and retelling activities, but the most fun was trying to build our own houses and seeing if the big bad wolf (the hair dryer—thanks, pinterest!) would blow them down.
Day 1—Toothpicks and marshmallows.
Day 2—fuzzy sticks and pony beads. Sophia decided to make a person instead of a house. Caleb had a sprawling mansion without a lot of height until he figured out how to make an arch.
Day 3—Paper and paper clips. Oops, no pictures.
Day 4—Duplos. The fan acted as the big bad wolf.
Day 5—Toothpicks and marshmallows again. Caleb had been dreaming up toothpick house plans all week, so he experienced some frustration when it didn’t turn out the way he wanted.
