December brought all things Gingerbread! It was gingerbread books, projects, and fun! C’s mom made gingerbread play dough with the kids. That was a big hit! They played with it the rest of the month!
You can’t have all that gingerbread learning without making cookies, so one morning I decided we would do just that. Each child got a ball of “dough” to make into a gingerbread man shape.
I had my oldest daughter Adrienne in helping for the morning, so I sent her down to put the cookies in the oven. When they were done we all walked down to the oven to get them. I couldn’t believe it when we got there and they were gone! I should have put them in there myself. Adrienne obviously didn’t close the oven door all the way, and they got away!
All we found in the oven was a note from the gingerbread man giving us a clue as to where he went. We had to chase him through the halls to hunt him down!
We finally caught him back in our classroom! He can’t trick us!
We were shocked to find that all our cookies had combined into one big Gingerbread Man! He couldn’t outfox us because we’re a bunch of smart cookies! We gobbled him right up before he had the chance to get away again!
Side note: The timing was perfect. Right after all that excitement it was time for music. I happily dumped dropped them off. There was a sub. Poor girl, I should have tipped her for that 1/2 hour:)
