The next time you share the story of the Three Little Pigs, don’t just tell it, have the children be a part of it! These masks are inexpensive and easy to make. And the kiddos have a blast as they step into the story!

Children love good storytelling! When the storyteller engages them with facial and voice expression and tailors the story to the young audience, even the most boisterous young children can be found sitting with rapt attention! Listening to storytelling has much of the same benefits for young children as being read to. There isn’t the print corrolation, but there is tremendous building of language and listening skills and the concept of story structure. Here is a fun and engaging storytelling activity perfect for this time of year! You should practice it and get comfortable with it before “performing” for children. Let your own creativity take over and change it up any way you like to make it your own story! I actually heard this story as I was sitting in a library story time with my sons and tweaked it a bit to make it mine. I’m sure you could put your own spin on it and make it even better!
