Kindergarten teachers love collecting different versions of The Gingerbread Man. Maybe we love it because we take the kids on a hunt for the Gingerbread Man on the first day of Kindergarten. Whatever the reason, when December rolls around, we break out the books.
The Gingerbread Baby, by Jan Brett, is one of my all time favorites. If you haven't seen it already, Jan Brett has a terrific website with lots of great activities and games for kids.
Recently, we read Gingerbread Friends, also by Jan Brett.
I think Gingerbread Girl is my #1 favorite. This little girl is smart and sassy. My daughter loves this book too. I think she has a lot in common with that smart and sassy Gingerbread Girl.
Our kindergarteners made some gingerbread friends of their own. We invited families to help with this project at home. The kindergarten gingerbread friends are SO much fun to see!
Thank you for helping your kids with this project! We love encouraging projects that families can do together.
