Gingerbread day!

This weeks' theme is G is for Gingerbread! We made a spice playdough, made cinnamon gingerbread ornaments, and colored a gingerbread man and glued buttons on his front! The kids had a blast this morning as we completed the activities. They even acted out the story of "Gingerbread Man" by running around and pretending to take bites out of each other... it was pretty funny to watch!
Our color sheet... then we added glue dots, picked out buttons, and glued them on our little gingerbread guys! So simple yet so cute!

Above: is the group getting ready to help me make the playdough!

Starting the steps in making our doughs...
Everyone had a special job...pouring, measuring, stirring!

More pouring...


Now for the fun part... playing in the dough! We had a great morning as we explored our some of our senses, used fine motor skills, and even got a little messy!!
I must admit, this is a fun week of lessons!
