I'm really pleased with how our gingerbread crayons turned out. We broke up all the crayons that were donated (thank you!) into gingerbread silicone molds, heated them in the oven, added a few drops of ginger and cinnamon oil, and let them cool. Have leave a delightful scent and captured the attention of the whole group this morning for much longer than I would have ever expected.
The crayons even made fantastic blocks!
They also worked well as toys to retell the Gingerbread Man story.
Having a healthy snack before eating our own gingerbread men.
The gingerbread scented finger painting wasn't very well received today. Lil'GalA had this reaction:
and Lil'GalB poked a tad and then pushed her paper away. Lil'ManD also poked a bit but decided if the girls didn't like it he didn't either, plus he really wanted his hands washed :)
Playing with the lacing cards from the
Gingerbread Friends Tot Pack.
Everyone looked at their own book while I read "Gingerbread Mouse."
We had a lot of fun with play-dough today as well. We also played with rice, read more stories and played on the Starfall.com app on the iPad! It was a very busy gingerbread day!
