Preschool Gingerbread Activities

Gingerbread activities are my favorite holiday activities. Even though I teach at a church preschool and we celebrate Christmas in every way in our classroom, I still like sharing activities that teachers who shy away from Santa or the religious aspects of Christmas but still feel like some holiday activities are appropriate for their classrooms. The best part, though, is that you can use gingerbread activities any time of year while diving into fairy tales. Here are some of my favorite preschool gingerbread activities.

Gingerbread Man Count & Clip Activity

This activity is all about one to one correspondence. Children count the items and clip the dots developing their mathematical and fine motor skills all at once.

This is a great craft to do when you don’t have time to let the glue dry, but it’s also a valuable fine motor skill building craft.

My students are just beginning to dive into number recognition, but they are already capable of basic one to one correspondence and counting. This gingerbread man math tray helps develop that further while exposing them to numbers.
