Documenting Delight: day two hundred and thirty three {fairy tale love}

Over the past few months Harper has developed a deep love of fairy tales. It all started with ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and since then we have made our way through any traditional story we can get our hands on. I thought it may have been the princesses that were drawing her in, but princess or no princess she is captivated by these stories.

Lately Harper has taken to re-telling these stories. She mostly has the structure down but does like to make her own unique additions.

Harper: I call him the nice wolf now.

I found some old felt board fairy tale cut outs in one of my teaching resource boxes and gave them to Harper and Finn to play with. Harper sets all the pictures up,  moves the figures around and adopts the characters voices. Today she placed all the cut outs on our computer desk and acted out ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ with a whole heap of enthusiasm. The top picture is Harper showing Goldilocks’ expression when she wakes up and find the Three Bears looking at her. Nailed it, wouldn't you say?
