17 Fabulous Winnie the Pooh Activities for Kids

April 13, 2023 //  by Joanna Balla-Elliot

A.A. Milne’s famous children’s character, Winnie The Pooh, has provided lessons on friendship, bravery, and self-acceptance for generations of young people. These classic stories hold truths for every audience, including the adults reading the stories out loud. This resource provides you with seventeen Winnie The Pooh-inspired activities you can use in conjunction with a Winnie the Pooh read-aloud or unit. Enjoy a trip down memory lane with your favorite Hundred Acre Woods characters. And don’t forget that Winnie the Pooh Day is on January 18th. If anything, that should be a good excuse to bust out one or more of these fun activities.
