Gingerbread Misc
2-5-01After a week of gingerbread activities my class rewrote the story of little Gingerbread boy with the prompt of "There was a class who had no man, so they decided to make a gingerbread man." The children put him in the oven and get busy playing. They forget about the gingerbread man until they smell him burning. The children named the animals that the gingerbread man ran away from and then drew the pictures for a class book.
12-27-00Gingerbread house Take an appliance box, a refrigerator box works best, and cut it open. (Be sure it will stand on it's own.) Cut out a door and some windows. I like to cover the windows with holiday saran wrap to look like candy coated window panes. Frame it with corrugated border to look like frosting. Ask the students to make glittery "gumdrops" to put along the roof. Add any other candies to add a festive look. I make this with my students in December when we study the Gingerbread man and/or holiday baking.
11-4-00Create a new manipulative activity by cutting out 3 or 4 large gingerbread boy shapes from brown felt. Using felt scraps, create pieces of clothing, facial features, hair, etc. so that the children can "decorate" the cookie. It can be decorated and redecorated as many times as they wish.
11-4-00Cork Gingerbread People: I saw these at a craft store and decided to make them as parent gifts with my class. We used cork drink coasters; cut out a small gingerbread person. You can then dress them with fabric clothes, or do as we did: use fabric paint to add facial features and buttons. We then added a magnet to the back. Easy, but so cute!
