We have been doing lots of gingerbread man activities this week. Here are some of Alice's favorites:

This is a fun game I got from www.kidssoup.com.



This is Alice's absolute favorite. You fill in the features. I laminated it and let her use dry erase markers so she can do this over and over. This is from www.dltk.com


Matching uppercase and lowercase numbers from www.childcareland.com


Lacing Activity from www.kidssoup.com


Counting activity form www.kidssoup.com

Dollar Store games- A HUGE hit


We have read several versions of the Gingerbread Man. Below are sequencing, and feltboard pieces to retell the story. Alice was very disturbed by the Gingerbread Man being eaten at the end of the story. We have been coming up with other endings that don't involve the Gingerbread Man getting eaten.





Here are the ornaments we made last night.







Ever wonder what Will is doing while we craft? He makes his own fun...


Here is a picture of our kitchen tree. Mom has been collecting fruit and vegetable ornaments for a long time. Thanks Mom, it looks great!
