Craft: Gingerbread person (a brown card person (grown-up cuts), crayons, buttons or stickers, glue stick), with a grown-up. Snack: Banana Oat Cookies, recipe at peabody.kids/kitchen/banana-oat-cookies. Outside: A chasing game: the gingerbread runners run to the fence; the fox (a grown-up) walks slowly after them.
This week: gingerbread
A gingerbread week for twos to fours: the old tale of the running cookie, smelling spices and a pretend bakery.
Our letter is G: G is for gingerbread.
Our song is “Pat-a-Cake”. The words are below, so you can sing it at home.

Pat-a-Cake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man, Bake me a cake as fast as you can; Pat it and prick it and mark it with B, And put it in the oven for baby and me.
