Fairy tales delight children of all ages.

He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in!

Who doesn’t know the origin of that quotable quote? Despite protests to the contrary to clear his good name, the Big Bad Wolf’s immortal huffing and puffing condemn him every time children delight in the retelling of this story. Fairy tales inform our collective moral conscience and offer our children entry into a world of literature where good is good, bad is bad, and everyone is justly rewarded or duly punished.

In addition to their moral value, some of the most memorable characters in fiction live in fairy tales. They’ve become archetypes that we all rely on to impugn or affirm the character of celebrities, politicians, next-door neighbors, relatives and friends. If your sister is an evil stepsister, look out!

This seven-page tool gives you insight into how fairy tales function in a language rich home. Then it offers you, the homeschooling parent, suggestions to help you use fairy tales to produce creative oral and written narrations of classic fairy tales. Step-by-step instructions are included for some of the most famous fairy tales as well as a list of creative writing projects based on fairy tale models for your older kids.
