Video of Little Red Riding Hood - An Animated Step-by-Step Resource

This Little Red Riding Hood Animated Step-by-Step Resource can be purchased in Teachers Pay Teachers in 4 formats: Regular, PCS, SymbolStix and VI.

What Happened to the Wolf?

Fairy tales (Goldilocks & the 3 Bears, The Three Little Pigs The Gingerbread Boy, The Little Red Hen, Little rRed Riding Hood) have considerable longevity and although the story line may vary somewhat with time, the moral lessons remain intact.

Little Red Riding Hood is the most recent addition to my roster of Animated Step-by-Step Fairy Tales ... joining the ranks of The 3 Little Pigs and Goldilocks & the 3 Bears.

I often struggle with the issue of incorporating 'death" when rendering an Animated Step-by-Step for preschoolers. In Little Red Riding Hood, for example, … What happened to the grandma? Did the wolf eat her or did she escape? In my version she conveniently escaped with her walker … Did the woodsman kill the wolf or tranquilize it and take it to another part of the forest? Although my version, includes a page depicting a dead wolf with a victorious woodsman, this page can be easily altered if you want a 'kinder, gentler' story line.

There are two options for the 'kinder, gentler' version:

Option 1:

1. Select the grouped graphics (woodsman + dead wolf + Red Riding Hood)

2. Sub-select the wolf within the group (click on the tongue).

3. Delete the wolf and you will find a log conveniently hidden beneath the wolf.

O Option 2:

Just swap out page 14 with the 'kinder' page at the end of the resource. I'm sure most of

you will go with option 2, but I couldn't resist the urge to impart a technical tidbit. Truth be known,

I realized (after the fact) that it would be much simpler to just add a duplicate page to be swapped. : )

The phrase 'and came to her rescue' still holds true … you just don't know the fate of the wolf. : )

Little Red Riding Hood is available from TpT in 4 versions, Regular, PCS, SymbolStix and VI.
