Fairy and Folk Tales: Paul Bunyan

You have selected one of NDSL’s Lakeshore Learning STEAM Kits. These kits boost critical thinking skills by bringing hands-on learning to young children. They are geared for 2nd and 3rd graders, but with adult interaction, they can fit children even younger. Many kits include hand or finger puppets, along with a durable, hard cover, classic book. A shortened story version can be found on the Story Card that accompanies most kits. These kits are perfect for building literacy skills, creative expression, engineering concepts, social-emotional development and more. Specifics on Common Core Standard’s Objectives will be found on the teaching Resource Page in the kit.
