Goldilocks and the Three Bears Story Cut-Outs PDF - Twinkl - Free Printable

To solve this puzzle, we need to match the characters and objects from the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" into their correct groups. The images show mixed-up pieces that belong together based on size (small, medium, large) and ownership.

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. Identify the main characters:
- Goldilocks (the girl)
- Papa Bear (largest bear, wears blue tie)
- Mama Bear (medium bear, wears pink apron or dress)
- Baby Bear (smallest bear, wears yellow shirt)

2. Match each character with their belongings:

→ Goldilocks’ group:
- She is shown sleeping in a bed (that’s Baby Bear’s bed she borrowed).
- There’s also an image of her standing next to the bed — that’s her reacting after waking up.
- But note: the bed belongs to Baby Bear, so we don’t assign the bed to Goldilocks as “her” item — rather, we group items by who they originally belong to.

Actually, looking at the layout, the task is likely to sort the pictures into sets belonging to:
- Goldilocks
- Papa Bear
- Mama Bear
- Baby Bear

Let’s reorganize by owner:

✔ Papa Bear’s set:
- Large brown bear with blue tie
- Blue armchair (large chair)
- Large bowl of porridge (blue patterned bowl)
- In one panel, he’s pointing angrily — that’s part of his scene

✔ Mama Bear’s set:
- Medium bear with pink apron/dress
- Pink armchair (medium chair)
- Medium bowl of porridge (red striped bowl)
- In one panel, she’s holding her face in shock

✔ Baby Bear’s set:
- Small bear in yellow shirt
- Yellow armchair (small chair)
- Small green polka-dot bowl
- Bed where Goldilocks was sleeping (it’s his bed!)
- Also, in one panel, he’s crying or upset — that’s him finding someone in his bed

✔ Goldilocks’ set:
- The girl herself (two images: one sleeping, one standing)
- She doesn’t have furniture or bowls — those belong to the bears.
- Her role is interacting with the bears’ things.

But wait — looking again at the panels:

There are 6 rectangular panels arranged in two rows.

Top row:
- Left: Goldilocks sleeping in bed + Goldilocks standing beside bed → This is one scene: Goldilocks in Baby Bear’s room.
- Right: Three bears reacting — Papa pointing, Mama shocked, Baby covering mouth → This is the family discovering Goldilocks.

Bottom row:
- Left: Bowls and chairs — these are the three sizes of porridge bowls and chairs.
- Middle: Three bears standing side by side — labeled by clothing (tie, apron, yellow shirt) → identification key.
- Right: Family hug? Or grouped together? Plus small yellow chair.

Actually, the real task here is probably to match each bear with their correct chair and bowl, and identify which bed belongs to whom.

From the story:
- Big Bear → big chair, big bowl
- Medium Bear → medium chair, medium bowl
- Little Bear → little chair, little bowl, and his bed was slept in by Goldilocks

So let’s assign:

🔹 Papa Bear (big):
- Blue tie
- Blue armchair
- Blue-patterned bowl (full of porridge)

🔹 Mama Bear (medium):
- Pink apron
- Pink armchair
- Red-striped bowl

🔹 Baby Bear (small):
- Yellow shirt
- Yellow armchair
- Green polka-dot bowl
- His bed (where Goldilocks slept)

Goldilocks:
- Not assigned any furniture or bowl — she used Baby Bear’s things.

Now, if the question is to “group the items correctly”, then the final answer should list which items go with which character.

Since no explicit question is written in the image, but based on standard educational tasks like this, the goal is to sort the items by owner.

Final grouping:

- Papa Bear: blue tie, blue chair, blue bowl
- Mama Bear: pink apron, pink chair, red bowl
- Baby Bear: yellow shirt, yellow chair, green bowl, bed
- Goldilocks: the two images of her (sleeping and standing)

In the bottom-right panel, there’s a group of all three bears hugging — that might be the ending scene, not part of sorting.

Also, note: in the top-right panel, the three bears are shown reacting — that’s a narrative scene, not for sorting.

So for homework purposes, the student is expected to draw lines or group:

→ Each bear with their matching chair and bowl.

And recognize that the bed belongs to Baby Bear.

Therefore, the correct matches are:

- Papa Bear ↔ blue chair ↔ blue bowl
- Mama Bear ↔ pink chair ↔ red bowl
- Baby Bear ↔ yellow chair ↔ green bowl ↔ bed

Goldilocks is separate — she’s the visitor.

If the task is to label or circle correct pairs, that’s the logic.

Since the user didn’t specify exact instructions, but given the context of “solve the problem”, and assuming it’s a matching/sorting task, the final answer is the correct pairings.

Final Answer:
Papa Bear goes with the blue chair and blue bowl.
Mama Bear goes with the pink chair and red bowl.
Baby Bear goes with the yellow chair, green bowl, and the bed.
Goldilocks is the girl who used Baby Bear’s things.
