The mittens are lost, and our PK students must find them! This fun outdoor activity encourages students to pay attention to details and use their senses to find the mittens along our trail in the woods.

Teachers introduce the Mitten Hunt activity by reading "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. This book is a Ukrainian legend about a boy who loses his white mitten in the snow and finds it after several animals have burrowed inside it to keep warm.

During the hunt, the students look for the missing mittens after examining the color, size, and texture inside and out of their mittens.

Families brought gently-used or new mittens, which were donated afterward to the Room in the Inn.
