We have been having so much fun this week with these printable Three Little Pigs puppets! There has been lots of huffing and puffing! And wonderfully rich storytelling and sharing.
Free Printable Three Little Pigs Puppets for Storytelling
The Three Little Pigs is such a much loved classic tale. Children delight in this story of three brave little pigs and their clever escape from the Big Bad Wolf whose only intention is to eat them! The story is engaging enough to captivate young book lovers but simple enough for it to make the perfect choice for a story retelling, and the printable puppets are the perfect resource for supporting a child’s retelling of the story.
I love puppets as storytelling props, as they promote wonderfully engaged literacy learning, imaginative play and social development. These Three Little Pigs puppets are available as a free printable book activity for you to use with your own children, or those in your classroom or childcare service.
How to Make a Set of Three Little Pigs Puppets
1. Printed the puppets onto matte photo paper or cardstock (download instructions can be found below) and cut around each item.
2. Laminate the pieces
3. Tape each story character onto an over-sized craftstick.
4. You can create a simple stand for your craftstick puppets and their three little houses using cookies cut from a pool noodle. I cut pieces of pool noodle (approximately 2 in/5 cms wide) and then cut each piece in half to make two stands. Then I simply cut a small slit into the top of each stand (being careful not to cut too far down the sides) for holding the craftstick or house.
Once ready, why not create a simple storytelling invitation by placing the puppets into the stands on a small table with a copy of The Three Little Pigs picture book.
