When I was planning my theme calendar, I didn't plan on starting to use winter activities this early. But I had SO many ideas that I wasn't going to get to them all before break…so we started this week. The bummer is that my son has been sick and I have missed two days being out with him 🙁 I thought I would share a fun craft I did get to earlier this week with you guys…Gingerbread Men Artic!
I pulled some gingerbread shapes and cut out about a million of these men. We only have letters for our die-cut machine at my school, so you may have an easier job if you have this pattern at yours. For my little guys, I made a story that these crazy little gingerbread were eating our speech words! Then they pulled pics out of the Artic Buckets and glue them to the gingerbread. They drilled while they glued and decorated their men. They loved it! My older kids wrote winter words with their sounds on the men. All of the kids took it with them at the end of our session for homework practice! Woo!
What do you think? Have you done any fun gingerbread crafts yet?

One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge.

Cute! I’m doing a gingerbread theme this month and was trying to plan artic activities this afternoon. I may just end up doing this one!
Thanks! It was fun 🙂
Clever and crafty! Never thought about doing a story with them…nice!
Thanks! That was the best part! They thought it was hilarious 🙂
A very cute idea! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you! I hope you can use it 🙂
Cute!!!!! I have TOO much to do in December!!!! Don’t know what I”m going to do with all of my materials! 😉
Thanks!!! I know…it’s craziness!!!
Love this…just did Gingerbread Pirates this week. I may add this tomorrow. They could decorate the men as pirates!
I need to get the Gingerbread Pirates book! I keep hearing about it! Making these guys pirates would be super cute!
This is a cute idea. I do a Gingerbread theme in December, too. I bought a foam gingerbread house kit at Michael’s lots of years ago and I have my kiddos do a preposition activity with it. I made gingerbread kids with Boardmaker preposition pix on the back, when they pick one, they have to put their gingerbread kid in, on, next to, in back/front of the house. They always love that! And I always make gingerbread stick puppets with them for retelling the story (at least the refrain). And it’s my favorite story for working on /k/- “Run, run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man!” Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I love the idea of using the foam gingerbread houses! I just bought one of those to do a following directions activity. I love your ideas 🙂
