Winter always gets colder and I can tell you that we go outside but sometimes we like to stay inside and get our wiggles out!<\/p>\n

Today I have a great story tie-in for a gross motor activity with the Gingerbread Man, the free Gingerbread Man Story gross motor dice<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

This is one of our favorite stories and has been forever that way! We read it every read a Christmas time!<\/p>\n

This is part of the 5 Days of Gingerbread Themed Printables<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love changing up the gross motor. It is always fun to do. Kids really do enjoy working on different activities. We have had a blast with all the gross motor book and dice activities. Every year we do something to help keep us moving.<\/p>\n

This new dice set is a favorite story for my girls and I. We have done movements and my girls asked for a dice set. They love the dice and pull them out a lot to do.<\/p>\n

The set has 6 elements from the Gingerbread Man Story: the gingerbread man, the oven, the old woman, the old man, a cow, and a fox. Simple parts that work well into a lot of the stories.<\/p>\n

We use the cube dice<\/a> because they allow us to throw the dice around and they don’t hurt much when they fall or hit something. Plus the cards last a lot longer in the dice.<\/p>\n

The Gingerbread Man Story Gross Motor Movements<\/h2>\n

The great part about having this be a story set is that you can do it with or without the dice. You can do the movements while you read the book. Which we will do a lot of! Have some fun and read and move.<\/p>\n

Gingerbread man:<\/strong> You run as fast as you can like the gingerbread man.<\/p>\n

Old Woman\/Mixing:<\/strong> You mix up the gingerbread dough with big stirring motions.<\/p>\n

Oven:<\/strong> You jump from the oven. We do two feet jumps and leaps for this sometimes.<\/p>\n

Old Man:<\/strong> You run like an old man. You can do slow running movements. Or even pretend running with a cane. We liked running with a cane.<\/p>\n

Cow:<\/strong> You run while crawling and moo like a cow.<\/p>\n

Fox:<\/strong> You swim like a fox. We laid on the floor and pretended to doggy paddle. They can even pretend to gobble the gingerbread man.<\/p>\n
