Gingerbread Babies

We started our day by coloring gingerbread men…

DSCN5294

…and placing them on my cookie sheet.

DSCN5303

But this was not just any old cookie sheet…This was a magic cookie sheet from the North Pole! From Santa himself! After placing the paper cookies in the oven, the magic turns them into real gingerbread cookies we would eat for snack!

DSCN5306

We read some gingerbread books… And when I went to check on the cookies, they were gone!!!  They had turned into gingerbread babies and ran away! So, of course, we made a chart predicting where the gingerbread babies would be…

We searched all over the school to find them right back in the kitchen with our cook, Ms. Phyllis. Whew!

DSCN5299

We ate them all up before they could run away again!

Well done, Preschoolers!
