The Three Little Pigs

In Terrific Tales this winter I have decided to use a selection of "Classic Stories."  For most of them since the children are already familiar with the tales I can use one traditional version, and then one new interpretation.  The kids seem to be enjoying it, but they also are routinely very confused by the redone versions.

I seem to be on a Pig kick this week.  We read "If You Give
a Pig a Pancake" by Laura Numeroff and this was the felt
board that I created for it.  The kids found the sweater for the
pig highly amusing.

I used our "Big Book"version.  So while I
held the giant version and read the kids
helped me put up the flannel board pieces.
This version of the Three Little Pigs was highly confusing to the kids
Even though they found it funny that the pigs left the story
they totally didn't get it.  
Our craft for the day came from my book "Cut, Tear, and Fold"
which is put out by Mailbox Books.  We took normal clean pigs
and then let them roll around in the mud till they were very very
dirty
