The Gingerbread Man

New Year is coming and it's time to read a classic book; The Gingerbread Man. I'm a very big fan of "Gingerbread Man". I believe my kids also adore him :)

There are infinite possiblities to do with this story. I came up with some of them.

 

We did cinnamon gingerbread man magnets from cinnamon dough.

What you need:

1 cup ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons white glue
3/4 to 1 cup water

White paint

 

 

You can do lots of maths activities;

STORYTELLING

Storytelling is a great way of learning. It enables children to use their imaginations and immerse themselves completely in another world. They create a movie in their minds! They also get to know the whole world through books; different lives, places, characters, relationships, etc.
