Making gingerbread

This foldable sequencing activity allows students to order the stages of making/baking gingerbread. It is designed to help develop thinking and fine motor skills.

You could add the finish foldouts to interactive notebooks, use this to support learning around The Gingerbread Man story, or as a fun Christmas activity or center.

Students cut out the stages, put them in order on the template, before cutting and folding. They will love bringing the 2 halves of their gingerbread foldout together, then gently pulling it apart to show the stages inside.

There are 3 similar versions included, including one with a straight cutting edge for those children who would struggle to cut around the outside of the gingerbread man.
