Henry had Gingerbread Day at school on December 15th. He got to take an adult with him for the afternoon to do gingerbread crafts and activities and then build a gingerbread house. I was the lucky one who got to go with Henry and we had such a fun afternoon together.
First we used stickers to make this picture. Henry named them "Mr. Gingerbread Henry" and Mrs. Gingerbread Mommy. I think they look great, don't you?
Another activity was coloring a picture from Jan Brett's book Gingerbread Baby that Mrs. Zwart read to the class. Henry did an awesome job with this picture since he's such an artist!
The finished product...beautiful, isn't it? And I never tire of seeing him write his name.
Then we worked on a gingerbread house together. We did a pretty good job I think. We did use a couple of milk cartons for support, but overall this house stood pretty solid. I was in charge of the main construction and then Henry got to do most of the decorating.
He thought it was pretty cool to use the icing bag...a lot.
The artist by the finished masterpiece! He had so many cute details he wanted to put on it!
