My favorite thing as a Kinder teacher was studying the gingerbread man and comparing
all the different versions. I didn't want to let go of this December tradition.
So, I gave it a twist and asked the kids:
Would the gingerbread story have a different ending if he had a boat to cross the river?
They had access to these materials and got right to work.
The gingerbread cookie had to fit in the boat.
The boat had to fit in the "river".
(this is a liner box for a wooden planter)
If the boat made it across safely, they got to eat the safe, dry gingerbread man cookie.
If the boat leaked, I gave them a fresh cookie to eat (nobody likes a soggy cookie!)
Again, I am so lucky to have my own kiddo visit the lab with her class.
She loves it, too!
