From Head To Toe--Interactive Story Telling Visuals And Props

Get your students moving, talking, and laughing with this interactive storytelling set designed to go along with From Head to Toe by Eric Carle! This classic favorite is perfect for Pre-K, ECSE, and early childhood classrooms and now you can bring it to life with props, visuals, and sequencing activities that keep every child engaged.

This resource does NOT include the book.

What’s Included:

• Page-by-page visuals for each animal and action (gorilla thumping chest, elephant stomping foot, giraffe bending neck, etc.)—great for cueing students during read-alouds.
  
• Student props to hold up and act out each movement—perfect for active participation.
  
• Story-retelling visuals that can be used on a whiteboard, cookie sheet (magnet strips), Velcro wall, or felt board for sequencing and comprehension.
  
• Choice board icon so students can easily request this highly engaging activity again and again.
  

How It Works:

As you read the story aloud, students hold up their matching prop and join in the movement (“Can you do it? I can do it!”). After reading, use the retelling visuals to review animal names, practice sequencing, and support comprehension skills in a hands-on way.

Student Benefits:

✔ Multi-sensory learning – Combines movement, visuals, and listening for maximum engagement.
✔ Language development – Builds vocabulary, imitation skills, sequencing, and expressive language.
✔ Inclusive participation – Allows all learners—even those with limited verbal skills—to join in.
✔ Fine & gross motor practice – Acting out animal movements while holding props.
✔ Social-emotional connection – Group participation boosts confidence, joy, and classroom community.

Whether you’re targeting story comprehension, movement breaks, or building language skills, this From Head to Toe interactive set will be a student favorite!
