Gingerbread Baby

If you teach a Gingerbread Unit, this packet is a must! There are too many amazing resources than there is time to use. I would highly recommend purchasing this one. We spent a few weeks reading different variations of the Gingerbread Man. One that we spent a few days comparing the original to was The Gingerbread Baby. By using this book I was able to introduce character and setting. The link to this packet is HERE.

One of the best things in this packet is the graphic organizer. I used our poster maker to make a large one to do together during guided practice, and then the children did one for independent practice.


 
 



 
On Youtube there is a video of Jan Brett, author and illustrator of the Gingerbread Baby, teaching the students how to draw and paint their own gingerbread baby. They loved this! Enjoy a few pictures of their cute drawings and the link.
