Update: Heads up! The letters are a bit mixed up on the vocabulary match but I wouldn’t change my rating on this cute product!
My son is completely into puppets and Jim Henson right now. This resource jazzed up a few days of homeschool and gave us a wonderful opportunity to work on reading comprehension and HOTS all while he was immersed in the world of puppetry. Great resource!
