Our kindergarten has always constructed a life size gingerbread man. We make the dough, roll it out, bake, assemble, and decorate it all with the kids. I have to give credit for this idea to my teaching partner, Cathy, who came up with this idea and masterfully executes it every year. Our gingerbread man ended up a little quirkier, but the kids loved it nonetheless.
Before we made the gingerbread we did a comparison of the different types of gingerbread man stories. I adapted this idea from Deanna Jump's unit.
Your gingerbread man turned out great...it has character! :)
