Are you looking for If you Give a Moose a Muffin activities? Here is a great collection of activities and printables to use with your students.

Laura Numeroff is one of my favorite children’s book authors. Her If You Give… series quickly became a family favorite after we read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie years ago.

Kids tend to enjoy the predictable text and the simple illustrations. Educators tend to love the multitude of teaching opportunities presented within each book.

After reading the story with your students and kids, choose a fun snack and a craft to extend the experience.

The free If You Give a Moose a Muffin printables featured below goes right along with the story. The activities pull out some of the fun aspects of this book.

Here’s a fun video of the book being read aloud. If you have enough books for everyone in the room, they can listen and follow along. If not, just let them enjoy the video. 

Fun Connections to Make with the Story

• Moose: Moose are fun animals to study. Discover where they live, what they eat, and more. Use the report page in my printable to record information. 

• Cooking : Get your kids in the kitchen to make a batch of muffins. You can make some muffins from scratch, or buy a premade mix. Either way, kids of all ages will love making and eating a fun snack. 

• Making Jam: Kids can pick (or buy) fruit and make their own jam. 

• Beginning Sewing: Kids can practice sewing skills with lacing cards or by simply sewing buttons on a sock puppet.
