This is one of my bucket list projects that I have wanted to do for a loooooong time and just now got around to it…and I just can't even tell you how excited I am about how it turned out! You know I love two things…crafts and that darn old lady that likes to eat all the nonsense. Now I have combined them into one super packet that will give you craftivities for the ENTIRE YEAR. You heard it.
This project is full of TONS of activities to engage your students in therapy to target a wide range of skills. I'm talking articulation, following directions, writing, describing, sequencing, retell…this list could go on and on, but I know you get the point. I've included everything you need to create your own little old ladies with patterns, complete directions, and pictures for the craft and you get to choose the skill to target, depending on what your students need. Let's take a peek!
I've covered 10 of the Old Lady books! TEN! That's one craft for every single month of therapy!
In case that's not enough, there are open ended templates and ideas that you can use with or without the book!
You can find this bundle of activities in my TPT!
![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge.

LOVE this latest creation of yours! The “Old Lady” books are by far my favorites to use during therapy for a WIDE variety of ages and ability levels. Every child loves these stories, and your hands-on, easily differentiated activities will undoubtedly be a huge hit!! Thanks for providing such wonderful products. You make it seem so easy! 🙂
Thank you so much Kenda! That really means so much to me!
I love that old lady too! Off to check it out on TPT.
I forgot my favorite- The Bat! I guess because I love Halloween so much.
My favorite Old Lady book is “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Book”!
I love the bat too! Looks like a great bundle to pick up!
I love these! Favorite book is Swallowed the Leaves
1??? You want us to pick just 1??? I just don’t think I can do it!
Working in an elementary poverty school for 10 years, it’s been an ongoing goal of mine to address my students’ speech needs in the context of language activities. Even the speech-only students in gen ed classes present with language difficulties that are akin to speech/language students in ESE classes. Keeping therapy fresh, engaging and applicable is essential for this population to buy into their goals. Your time, creativity and sharing of products like this one are appealing to all my students K-5. Doing activities with these Old Lady stories puts even my tough guys in touch with their fun side. Your love of what you do shines through!
This looks great! They are such such fun books.
I have to pick just one book!? If I had to choose I would probably say the “snow” one 🙂
I think my favorite changes with each season but I love the snow one to brighten up my winter!
My favorite is The Bat!!
I love the There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed books and crafts and this packet looks great!
The Old Lady who Swallowed some Snow!
I like the “snow” version!
I like The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie, because my son loved that one 🙂
Love this ‘Old Lady’ set! I’ve never seen the old lady who swallowed a bell. I’ll have to check it out.
