Russian folk tale "Teremok" we know from childhood. The plot is well-known: the animals are looking for a home and settle together with their neighbors. The course of events is quite common, has many options and modifications. Sometimes a teremkom can become such a simple object as, for example, a mitten. A fairy tale with a similar name is built on the same principle, but has several changes in the plot. Animals scatter from the tower because the bear breaks it, and from the mitten - frightened by the sonorous dog barking.

Let's read together! "Mitten" - Russian fairy tale

Once my grandfather went for firewood, Bug got in touch with him. While walking through the forest, my grandfather's mitten fell out, but he did not notice.

There is a mitten in the snow, and a mouse runs past about its business, stopped and thought:

- What is not home for me?

Jumped inside and settled there. Lives, lives. And the frog jumped to the mitten. Paws in the winter on the snow freeze, so I decided to warm up. She looked into her mitten andsays:

- Ah, what a mitten! I wish I could live in it!

And the mouse answers her:

- I am a gray rascal mouse, I live here. Who are you?

- I am a frog - a cheerful jump. Is there a place for me?

- Come in, it's more fun together.

They live, they live, they do not know grief. And the bunny jumped up to the mitten, looked closely and said:

- Ah, what a mitten! I wish I could live in it!

And a mouse with a frog from his mitten says:

- We live here, the mouse is a gray playful and the frog is a cheerful jump. Who are you?

- I'm a bunny - a quick runaway. Is there a place for me?

- Come in, have fun together!

Now the three of them live, they live, they do not know grief. And the fox noticed the mitten, approached carefully, sniffed and said:

- Ah, what a mitten! I wish I could live in it!

And the animals from the gauntlet respond:

- We live here! The mouse is a gray playful, the frog is a cheerful jump, the bunny is a quick runaway. Who are you?

- And I'm a fox - a red beauty. Is there a place for me?

- Come in, have fun together!

The four of us fit together, they live and live, and the wolf prowls through the forest, looking for prey, came up to the mitten. And says:

- That's the miracle mitt! I need to live in it!

Pulled in his mitten, and the animals say:

- Here we already live! The mouse is a gray playful, the Frog is a cheerful jump, the Bunny is a quick runaway and the Fox is a red beauty. Who are you?

- And I'm a wolf - sharp teeth. Let me in, huh?

- It's a bit crowded here, yeahokay, come on in, have fun together!

The five of them began to manage, but how long, how short, the boar came to the mitten. And says:

- What a miracle gauntlet! Maybe I should live in it!?

I was just about to crawl into my mitten like animals out of it:

- The mitten is already full of tenants, we live here! The mouse is a gray playful, the Frog is a cheerful jump, the Bunny is a quick runaway, the Fox is a red beauty and the Wolf is sharp teeth. Who are you?

- And I am a Fang Boar. And I want to live with you!

- It's too crowded with us, but come on in, it's more fun together!

Six of the animals in a mitten barely settled down, cuddled up to each other, warming themselves, and then another bear walks by.

- What is this mitten? This is where I would like to live!

The animals immediately answered:

- There is no room in the mitten! We live here! The mouse is a gray playful, the Frog is a cheerful jump, the Bunny is a quick runaway, the Fox is a red beauty, the Wolf is sharp teeth and the Fang Boar. Who are you?

- And I'm Mishka - a clumsy tramp. Let me in too!

- How can we let you in, there is not enough room for us!

How the bear will roar here! So sad, so pathetic. Animals and ask:

- Why are you crying, clubfoot?

- My paws are cold!

The animals moved in, pressed even closer to each other. Do not freeze the bear.

- Get in, warm up a bit.

The bear climbed inside, the mitten cracked at the seams.

How much, how little time has passed, only the grandfather came to his senses, noticed that the mitten was gone. He decided to follow his footsteps back. The bug ordered to look for the mitten, she ran ahead of him and found the mitten, wanted to grab it, but saw that the mitten of the forest dwellers was full. Raised the Bug barking:

- Woof! Woof!

So loudly barks, loudly. The animals were frightened, they began to jump out of the mittens, but they ran away. Mishka got out - a clubfoot tramp, stomped into the forest, followed by a Fang Boar and a Wolf - sharp teeth jumped out - and only they were seen! The fox - a red-haired beauty appeared from the mitten, waved her tail and rather ran, and after her, the Bunny - a quick runaway with the Frog - jumped with a cheerful jump, only the Mouse - a gray rascal managed to jump out, as the grandfather approached. He raised the mitten, stroked the Bug, praised for finding the mitten.

The fairy tale is a lie, but it contains a hint!

What does "Mitten" tell kids about?

The fairy tale teaches to be hospitable, friendly, take care of others. The animals pity each other, do not let them freeze, let each new comrade into the dwelling, while they themselves are crowded, feel inconvenience.

It would seem that the content is very unpretentious, but why do kids like the fairy tale "Mitten" so much? Its text is filled with colorful names of animals, logical repetitions that are quickly remembered by kids and develop their speech.

Home theater based on "Mittens"

Thanks to the clearly built action of the characters, the work is well suited for staging. I think that in a house where they like to play with a baby, there will definitely be toy animals and a mitten. A playful fairy tale will delight the child. Even familiar toys in a new situation will seem more attractive to children than pictures in a book. Such a home theater can be a great way for the creative development of the baby. Even if you find only one or two heroes, be sure to show a small performance to the children and involve them in the show. If the child shows imagination, creativity, then he will put his favorite toys in the mitten, which are not in the plot: let a squirrel or a turtle live there instead of a mouse.

Creative finds from "Mittens"

With older children, you can have a conversation on the content. Ask them questions. How did the mitten end up in the forest? Who dropped her? Name who the mitten contained? Does a fairy tale teach you to be kind to others? Write a new ending to the fairy tale with the children. Enter new heroes, new actions. Create! Make it up!

Based on a fairy tale, you can come up with a lot of creative tasks. For example, cut out a mitten from a sheet and ask her to decorate it with an ornament using drawing or appliqué. The task will appeal to both toddlers and older children. Arrange an exhibition of painted mittens. Print and offer children coloring books based on the fairy tale.
