Thank you for these great ideas on the Gingerbread Man. I love the ideas of sorting
the shapes & the colors on the Gingerbread Man.
I love all of your ideas. Fun and interactive.
What a wonderful idea. I have my Gingerbread Man unit in 2 weeks so this will be a great addition to our activities. Thank you!
Our students are being introduced to different stories of the Gingerbread Man. As a follow-up, the Gingerbread Sorting Cards will be used as an art activity.
