THE GINGERBREAD MAN

This is a Gingerbread Man made by me. It´s really easy to make. You only need a Gingerbread Man template, thread, a needle and felt of different colours. Also, you can decorate it the way you like ... (a scarf, a tie, buttons, a bow tie, a ribbon...).

I encourage you to make it because when you tell his story, children will enjoy it much more if they can see the "real" Gingerbread Man out of the book. Do it yourself! It´s worth a try!

Tip*: Take him into the classroom and look at children faces! Have fun!
