 Tell the story of the gingerbread man or read one of the many versions available. A good choice for toddlers is The Gingerbread Man by Karen Schmidt. If you have a longer book, you can paraphrase the story.

1. Have toddlers finger paint on a piece of construction paper. Encourage them to cover the paper.
2. After it dries, cut a simple gingerbread shape from each.
3. Let the children add raisins for eyes and buttons.
4. At circle time let the toddlers practice running “as fast as the can” with their gingerbread men. |
