Gingerbread Baby
Gingerbread Cookies
As another story stretcher, we did our first foray into making gingerbread cookie dough from scratch. It’s a good thing that we didn’t have time to make actual cookies yesterday, because it turned out that we don’t have a cookie cutter shaped as a gingerbread man. Smarty was absolutely engrossed in making a dough – measuring and mixing very diligently. But she declared the dough “spicy”, and, as I recall, she did not care for cookies. She does like gingerbread sweets now as a 9 year old, but she developed a taste for them later.

I did that one year with my kids, and then realized I didn't have a cookie cutter. I finally made one from cardboard:) LOL They didn't care for the cookies much after they were baked.
How fun! Making gingerbread cookies is on our Advent calendar for next week. I'll have to link it up to a theme-based book... I'm sure I must have one about gingerbread men around here...
And, Anna just cracks me up with her knowledge of the human body! What an avid little learner she is!
The Gingerbread Baby books do have highly detailed, visually stunning illustrations. I like how the illustrations on the side show the little boy making his own gingerbread creation while the gingerbread baby runs amok.
Yay! We have Gingerbread Friends here and Hudson loves it! I will have to look for Gingerbread Baby as I am sure he would love that one too!
Too funny about the gingerbread man's anatomy :)
I just love Anna's gingerbread man - what a budding little scientist! I have a recipe for "child friendly" gingerbread men (it has butterscotch pudding mixed in and no molasses) so they are not spicy. Let me know if you are interested in it!
We made gingerbread cookies yesterday too! You can see what we did on my blog. It was such a LOT of work, but they're my favorite cookie ever, so it was worth it.
LOL, love Anna's gingerbread man's 'modesty sticker'.
We love that book - it's one we read every year. Very interesting craft you did too - I like her thinking - maybe she'll be a doctor someday :)
Hee hee, I love how she rejectedt eh dough because it was spicy.
This is such a cute book, I will have to get it out of the library for Emily! We used to read it with the first graders and I loved it. Anna's gingerbread is so cute. I am looking forward to making gingerbread with Emily this week too, I'm hoping she will like the taste of them. If not I guess that means more for me :0)
Thank you for linking up to stART!!
Oh my gosh--his intestines!! That is a good one!
We like this book too. I found a recipe for gingerbread that is supposed to be sweeter and more "kid" friendly. We will make it this weekend. I'm hoping it is a hit!
