We had a lot of fun with our gingerbread family! We actually had this lesson on November 29th. I'm just very late putting it up. Oops. We learned about the letter "L" and our word was "Love". (Apparently, my lips look like a boat, my lemon looks like a ball, and my light bulb looks like a hot air balloon-haha!)
Natalie gave me her paper gingerbread stick figures to do a puppet show with and the kids loved it. They would talk to the little stick figures and everything! So cute. I introduced the "family" to them and they were super into it.
We talked about preparing for the holidays. Everyone is excited about Christmas! We talked about how Christmas is fun to get presents but it's also very fun to do nice things for others. We talked about what we would bring to eat to a Christmas party. I slacked with putting this up on the blog and now I can't remember what the kids said. :( Then we had snack time: gingerbread cookies and cheese and crackers. Yummy!
After snacks, we played "Catch Me If You Can" which is another way of saying "Duck Duck Goose."
Everyone randomly rolled on the ground with a pillow for a bit. :)
Then we played with play dough and made our own gingerbread men. (This was kind of a disaster. I made this the night before and it was perfect. But the next morning it was WAY too sticky but the kids still wanted to play with it.) London's hands were immediately covered in the stickiness and so she couldn't really make anything. Ethan was kind of grossed out by the stickiness. Mason and Lucy played with it the longest and made some little creatures with it.
We read some Christmas stories and then we had play time for a bit.
Yay for gingerbread men, Christmas, the letter L, and Love! :)
