The 3 Little Pigs Scene Setter

He’ll huff and he’ll puff and he’ll blow your house down! Bring a traditional tale to life with the Three Little Pigs Scene Setters from Hope Education. This beautifully crafted resource will bring some truly special storytelling to your classroom.

The Three Little Pigs Scene Setters are comprised of 16 high-quality wooden paddles. Each of these depicts a character or element from the text, such as a house made of straw, a house made from sticks, a house made from bricks and of course, the Big Bad Wolf!

This resource is the perfect accompaniment to the teaching of The Three Little Pigs throughout EYFS or Key Stage 1, familiarising children with a key traditional tale whilst encouraging them to retell the story again and again.
