Gingerbread Theme for Kids
Gingerbread is a beloved holiday treat. The kids are always up for a gingerbread-themed activity! We read a few Gingerbread books, used these Gingerbread House Coloring Pages during calm down time and these Gingerbread Clip Cards as a fun indoor activity to practice math skills. The kids’ favorite activity was decorating gingerbread cookies. Here are Easy Gingerbread Decorating Party Tips to Save Your Sanity – trust me, you’ll need them!
Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, National Gingerbread Day, or just looking for ways to get kids learning and engaged during the holiday season, here are fun gingerbread printables that are an amazing resource for a gingerbread-themed unit. You’ll use them every year at home or in the classroom.
There are math activities with equations, name crafts, tracing pages, alphabet hunts, gingerbread investigations, games and more.
Each activity targets specific learning centers like math, literacy or fine motor, but they’re also so much fun.
There are also adorable cookie tray shape-matching activities, counting mats and pattern cards.
We know every child is unique, and just like there are different moulds or cookie cutters, there should be different ways of learning!
Let’s take a look at all the activities!
