The Gingerbread Man

Mixing up the cookie dough.
Decorating the gingerbread cookies.
Those tricky gingerbread men escaped from the oven. Good thing they left us notes so we could find them. They had us chasing them all over the school.
The best part -- eating them.

We have been doing many activities around the story "The Gingerbread Man". The preschoolers loved hearing the story as well as other gingerbread related stories. We ended our unit by making gingerbread cookies. The children mixed up the dough, decorated the cookies and put them in the oven. When we went to get them out of the oven, they had escaped! We chased them all over the school following the notes they left behind. We finally found them back in our classroom. We ate them up quickly, so they couldn't get away from us again.
