Gingerbread Baby Lapbook Printables

Thanks so much for stopping by my site and downloading this file. I hope that

you and your child have MUCH fun together using this free resource! You can

find all of my files and links for this unit on this webpage:

http://homeschoolcreations.com/GingerbreadBabyPrintables.html

NOTE: Additional printables were added to the Gingerbread Baby webpage in

December 2011, so be sure to visit the link above and download the additional

pages if you haven’t already!

This pack contains early learning printables to use with your child when reading

the book Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett. The first half of the kit focuses on skills

for younger children and the second includes pages for more advanced pre-

schoolers or kindergarteners. I would highly recommend printing the activities

from this set onto cardstock so that they are sturdier for younger hands.

If you would like to share, please share a link to my blog or to the page that

hosts these files. Please do not link directly to just the PDF files (the link you are

at now). Please feel free to print this pdf file for your own personal use. They

were created for private and non-profit use. Please do not sell or host these files

anywhere else.

What happened in the story? My favorite part of the book was...

Use the top section for your child to practice writing his/her name and add to the

front of the lapbook. Depending on the book that you use for your gingerbread

unit, have your child summarize the book and record what they tell you. Add the

mini ‘book report’ to the front of your lapbook.

Animals in the Book

When we read a story, we look to see what animals are in the book. These animals are from the book Gingerbread Baby by Jan Brett. The cards are lami-nated and then put on a jump ring so we can flip through the cards and review the animals in the weeks and months that follow.
