Last week, we read several versions of the Three Little Pigs. Our culminating activity had the kids use a piece of card stock, a pipe cleaner, 5 popsicle sticks, a clothespin, and an unlimited supply of tape to create a house. Then, my big bad wolf hair dryer came in and try to blow down the houses. We didn't have any little pig toys so we used counting bears instead. The kids had to cooperate and use their creative thinking skills. They spent the first 3 minutes not touching anything and just planning. Then they went to town. All of the houses looked very different, but the Big Bad Wolf could not blow any of them down. Here are some pictures of the event.
