Encourage creative thinking and literacy through storytelling with this free Goldilocks and the three bears puppets printable.

Mother Bear made porridge and the bears decided to go for a walk in the woods while it cools. While they are away, a little girl named Goldilocks wanders inside their home, eats some porridge, breaks a chair, and finally falls asleep in Baby Bear’s bed. When the bears return, Goldilocks is startled! What will happen?

The Three Bears Story Retelling Activity

This set of puppets is a fantastic way for kids to retell the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Read a Goldilocks and the Three Bears story and then let your student act out the story. We created a simple stage with a box (the flat kind that holds 12 cans), a wooden rod, and some red fabric.

If you laminate the background scene that comes in this printable pack, you can easily tape and remove it from the box. Then you can use and reuse the stage with other fairy tale puppets.

You could also buy a puppet stage, or you could make one from a cereal box.

Students can act out the traditional story, or they can have fun putting their own unique twists into the story; they could even add some original puppet creations. Encourage them to have fun and to be creative.
