When I do this in my three year old preschool class, I put the pieces out during centers so the kids can practice retelling the story and matching mittens.

This Week at Toddler Storytime: Kittens and Mittens
I posted my version of Mitten Matching last year, but this year I added something new. I made three kittens to go with the mittens, and the kids are having a lot more fun with them. We started off reading The Three Little Kittens by Paul Galdone. Then I passed out one mitten from each pair to all the kids (I have a a lot of mittens). I say, "These little kittens have lost their mittens." I put one mitten on a kitten and say, "Did you find this kitten's other mitten?" I repeat until all the kittens have mittens, then take them all off and start again.

Good idea! I'll need to make kittens to go with all those mittens I made way back.
