Happy Holidays from my family to yours. I am blessed to be able to have all five of my children and both of my grandchildren celebrating with us this year. Things are always busy and hectic for me as I know they are for all of you as well. I am looking forward to a little down time to just relax and I hope you are able to find time to do the same!!
We made paper plate gingerbread and they really turned out super cute. Not only did the children enjoy making this project but they also got lots of fine motor practice.
You will need to have:
paper plates (we glued two together) white yarn black yarn or pipe cleaner brown paint paint brush scissors black and pink craft foam or construction paper white sequins (optional) 
The first step is to paint the paper plate brown and let it dry. While the paper plate is drying we cut out two circles from the black craft foam and two from the pink. You can also use construction or cardstock paper if you do not have craft foam.
We glue the black circles on for the gingerbread eyes and formed a smile shape with a black pipe cleaner and also glued that on (you can substitue black yarn if you do not have pipe cleaners). We then glue a pink circle on each side of the mouth to from the gingerbread cheeks.
The next step was to apply glue around the edge of the paper plate and press the yarn on to make the gingerbread icing.
We went around the the paper plate twice with the white yarn. To add an optional sparkle we then pressed white iridescent sequins on the glue as well adding more glue dots if we need them.

The free membership printable this week is Gingerbread Alphabet Clip for letter recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out.
I set the gingerbread cards out along with some clothespins. You can also use large plastic coated paper clips or the included cover-up squares.
In this activity the children pick a letter cards and clip a clothespin on the same letter that is on the gingerbread. Play continues until all cards have been clipped.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday December 24th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added a gingerbread number clip. gingerbread alphabet clip

The free membership printable this week is Ornament Number Puzzles for letter recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out.
I then cut along the line on each ornament to make two halves and laminated all of the pieces. I mixed up the pieces and set them out for the children.
In this activity the children find the two halves with the same number and put them together to form the ornament. Play continues until all numbers have been matched.
