Gingerbread Symmetry Puzzles – Free Printable for Preschool

gingerbread symmetry puzzles free printable

These simple symmetry puzzles are a fun addition to free play time at preschool. Pop them on a table or a tray and encourage to work on symmetry. Symmetry is important to teach because it helps students in developing their ability to order and classify objects. These skills are used in math, reading, and just everyday life. Children have an innate ability to find matches and novel activities like these puzzles are an appealing way to work in these skills.

Gather your materials. You will need our gingerbread symmetry puzzles, a laminator ( find our favorite here with this affiliate link), scissors, and some containers to play.

Start by printing out the puzzles here.

If you want to turn this into an activity for older kids, try writing an uppercase letter on one half with a dry erase marker and the corresponding lowercase on the other. Voila, it’s a literacy idea now!
