You’ll Need:
* large stick or branch

* feathers and pinecones (optional)
Directions:
First you’ll need to find a large stick or a small branch. Look for dried out wood (not green) and make sure it is a comfortable size for your child. It should be a little higher than your child’s waist. Remove the bark and any little knots or side branches to make sure it is easy to grip.
Next let your child decorate his or her walking stick with paint. Once the paint dries it is ready for the first walk or hike. Bring some yarn or twine along, so your child can collect feathers and pinecones and attach them to the walking stick for an even more personal touch.

Directions:
Your child will recreate each of the three houses of the little pigs. Start by cutting a door into each of the milk cartons. Glue spaghetti all over the first house to make it look like a straw house. Repeat with the twigs for the second house. Cover the third house in red construction paper and outline small squares with a black marker to make it look like red bricks.
You can cut out three pig shapes and a wolf from construction paper or use little plastic animals to let your child reenact the story.
Alternatively you could draw a simple house shape each on 3 pieces of paper and let your child glue the spaghetti, twigs and construction paper bricks on it.
