Corresponding pictures for each part of the story are included for young children who can’t read quite yet.

It’s an engaging way to make sure everyone stays focused on the storyline!

Nature Hunt

Can your child identify a water rat vs a common brown rat?

What about a badger vs a skunk?

Here’s a fun nature hunt based off of the animals and nature scenes depicted in The Wind in the Willows!

While this activity is designed with younger kids in mind, older children can enjoy this activity, too!

It’s a leisurely way to add depth and understanding to The Wind in the Willows!

Letter Tracing Practice

Here’s another activity to keep little hands busy while listening to The Wind in the Willows!

Even my youngest children love listening to The Wind in the Willows.

Keep your preschoolers engaged in the story while helping them practice their letters by using these printables!

You’ll get one page of capital letters, and one page of lowercase letters!

Of course, you can print these out as many times as you’d like!

Included are colorful visuals of both a “horse drawn caravan” and a “motorcar” as depicted in the story. This will help your child understand just what these historical references are!

Word Search

An activity aimed for elementary aged students — here’s a word search for your kids to complete while listening to The Wind in the Willows!

Filled with words commonly heard in the story (and the Author’s name, too!), this activity will help your your younger elementary aged child be able to read and spell words heard in the story, and provide your older elementary child enjoyment while listening!

Name Each Picture

This activity includes illustrations from the 1913 edition of The Wind in the Willows. These beautiful illustrations were done by Paul Bransom (1885 – 1979).

Give your child the ability to recognize these paintings from a historic edition of The Wind in the Willows.

This activity will also help your child be able to better visualize different parts of the story, giving them a more complete understanding of the story line.

Your child can complete this activity little by little as they go about listening to the story, or they can complete it all at once after they have listened to The Wind in the Willows in its entirety.
