If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Activities

The following is a post from contributing writer LaToya Edwards of LaToyaEdwards.net

My boys love all things Laura Numeroff! The very first book of hers that we read was If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Here are some fun activites that go along with this popular children’s book:

Free Literature Activity Pack from Curriclick

This pack is full of fun activities that go along with this book! It’s full of story cards,  a reading journal, vocabulary cards and cross-cultural activities too. There’s another pack for toddlers and preschoolers as well.

Activities from DLTK

This page has some fun crafts and cooking activities. There’s even a fun memory activity to see how much of the story your kids can remember.

Kindergarten Unit (or Family Night Activities) from Hubbard’s Cupboard

I love this page, it’s a complete unit study around this fun book.  Some of the fun includes Mouse ABC Tic Tac Toe, Cookie Jar Math, Mouse Puppet and a Mouse Listening Maze. There are plenty of fun ideas here to spend a whole day or week with this book and it’s characters.
