DLTK's Educational Activities: Aesop's Fables
The Fox and The Cat Printable Jigsaw Puzzles
The jigsaw puzzle includes an image of a confused fox with Aesop's moral for this fable: 'Don't forget: a little common sense is better than many clever tricks!"
Suggestion: For a party, laminate or cover with clear contact paper purchased at your local office supply store and use as placemats. The placemats can be sent home as treats.
