Fun with Fairytales – Language and creative thinking activities – Ages 5–7

Heroes and Villains

Fairytales are often the first and most lasting literature experience for a child. They provide an ideal vehicle for conflict resolution in a non-threatening form. The heroes and villains tend to be larger than life and most engaging for young children.
