Gingerbread Boy

Run Run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!

The kids are fascinated by the story of the Gingerbread Boy and its song.  Kammi kept asking if the Gingerbread boy will really jump out of the oven if we were to make him. We gonna prove that he can!

Materials: Pre-packed gingerbread man ingredients from supermarket
Time spent: 20 minutes dough, 20 minutes cutting/ decorating, 20 minutes waiting for them to cool

And did they jump out?

YES! Right into the kids' mouths!

We drew clouds on the blue craft paper

Our professional Cloud Maker!

Kyler's angry clouds

 We stuck the clouds, lightning, raindrops, Incy Wincy onto an old hanger with sticky tape.
We stuck the black pipe cleaner legs onto the back of the spider body. Also added a brown pipe cleaner to its back. As seen above, stick a small piece of black craft paper over a part of the brown pipe cleaner. Make sure that the spider is still able to move up and down the brown pipe cleaner.

Kyler and Kammi made the happy sun and clouds.
 Incy Wincy is happy climbing up the spout again when the sun is out...:-)

Thunder, rain and lightning! Poor Incy Wincy can't wait to climb down the spout!
(With the clothes hanger, you are able to hang these 2 art pieces on the windows)
