Little Red Hen Craft

We decided to revisit a favorite story and a little red hen craft that we made during our farm theme last year.

The Little Red Hen

After reading the story a couple of times and practicing retelling it, we set up materials to explore shapes and make our own little red hens.

On the surface shape crafts can seem very basic, but there are many opportunities for learning and even creativity. I shared more about the skills we practice and the step-by-step process we use for doing shape crafts in previous posts.

Our finished hens looked something like this. Although each of the kids put their own unique twist on the craft.

You can draw the shapes freehand on your own, or I made a very simple free printable in both color and black and white. You can access them by clicking on the links below.

More Ideas for Using the Free Printable

In addition to using the printable to make the hen craft, you could also print them on magnetic sheets and create your own magnet set. Kids could have fun developing all sorts of creations with their pieces. You could also use the pieces for sorting by color.
