One of my favorite weeks at preschool is gingerbread week.
We started our week with reading The Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett.
Then we explored with gingerbread play-doh in the kitchen center. The boys and girls rolled out the pretend cookie dough and used familiar kitchen tools to shape and form gingerbread men.
We used bead to decorate our pretend cookies.
On Thursday we made REAL gingerkids.
We learned about rolling pins and the process of making gingerbread.
We used cookie cutters to make the shape of the gingerbread baby.
Even firemen have to stop work every now and then to do a little baking..
Our school smelled delicious!
Hot out of the oven, we decorated our gingerkids and gobbled them up, just like the fox in our class favorite version of the classic tale. We talked about who ate the feet first, or the hands. There were some that even ate the head first!
