Finger Puppet Fun: Make & Play with the Three Little Pigs!

How to use this worksheet

Cut out each of the three pig puppets and the fox puppet along the dotted lines, then fold or wrap the base of each around a finger as shown so it stays snug. Read or sing the accompanying Three Little Pigs rhyme together first so your child knows the story. Slip a puppet onto each finger and act out the rhyme as you say or sing it, moving the pigs and fox as the story unfolds. Encourage your child to make the fox's voice sound sneaky and the pigs' voices sound worried or brave.
