A few weeks ago we shared some fantastic Little Red Riding Hood costume ideas over on our Sylvia’s Style section of the blog. Little Red Riding Hood has always been a favourite story of mine ever since I was a little girl.
However I have never quite understood how Little Red Riding Hood did not realise that the Wolf was not her grandmother sooner than she did.
Well today I am sharing some fantastic Little Red Riding Hood Story Spoons which were super fun to make.
I really hope you like them. These would make a great literacy resource for the Early Years Foundation Stage and preschool child.
