I have a free roll-a-gingerbread house game for your littles. Also, grab more ideas and a free lapbook for winter fun on my page Winter Season Unit Study.
When winter sets in, it can be hard to keep the littles learning.
Games breathe life into the part of the day when your littles are not feeling independent play.
And what I love about this roll-a-gingerbread house game is that it promotes independent learning.
Besides getting a bit of math and color recognition, your child will have created a fun piece of art.
All you need is a die and a plate full of treats that are your preschooler’s favorite.

The classic tale of the old couple, with no children of their own, who bake a gingerbread boy to keep them company. Just as the little old woman is about to take him from the oven, he slips away and runs out the door past a cow, a horse, a group of threshers, mowers, etc. All follow in hot pursuit until the gingerbread boy meets up with a wily fox, and ‘at last and at last he went the way of every single gingerbread boy that ever came out of an oven . . . He was all gone!’ A wonderfully frenetic cross-country chase is depicted in Galdone’s broadly humorous color wash drawings.
