Color of the Week
This week we are looking for Brown & White together.
This will be easy to achieve with the brown gingerbread man in the book and
the house you make for this week’s special snack!
White frosting and candies may be involved, too!
Have fun with these colors during snack time this week.
Song/Nursery Rhyme of the Week
Gingerbread Song
(to the tune of “The Muffin Man”)
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Who ran and ran and ran?
He said, “Catch me if you can,
If you can, if you can.”
He said, “Catch me if you can,
Then ran and ran and ran.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
Now catch me if you can.
