Gingerbread Man Craft Activity

While you might not be able to catch the gingerbread man, you can grab this FREE gingerbread craft for your students. There are so many different gingerbread stories you can pair it with (my favorite is The Gingerbread Man Loose at School by Laura Murray)! Not only will it make an adorable winter bulletin board, but students will love making their very own cut and paste gingerbread man.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
• Coloring templates (a separate 2 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter g
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
