I am in the process of gathering up Jan Brett Christmas "stuff" to put together an author study. I am just wondering if anyone has anything that they have done in the past that they would be kind enough to share?

Thanks in advance!

The Mitten is one of my favorite Jan Brett stories. Here is a template with all of the animals included from the story to use as puppets or to retell the story. Not sure who to give credit to for it. I might have gotten it from her website which has a lot of activities as well.

Thanks for sharing! That's wonderful and The Mitten is also one of my favorites!

Our kids will enjoy coloring animals they have seen in a book.

Have you checked out her website? www.janbrett.com There aren't enough hours in a day to see it all! There are activity sheets for all her books, bookmarks, etc. Happy browsing!

I've used the Gingerbread Baby. We wrote our own version, with the Baby visiting local places. It's a great hit. I also included all the fun Gingerbread literature... compare and contrast various versions of the story, make gingerbread ornaments with cinnamon and applesauce, etc.
