This project gave them the chance to express themselves, work together, and engage deeply with our Gingerbread Man unit in a hands-on, meaningful way.\r\n\r\nFor many of my kindergarteners, this was more than just an art project—it was an opportunity to take ownership of something they created from start to finish.
