Gingerbread Man Color Matching & Sight Word Printables
Materials:
- Gingerbread printable (at bottom of page)
- printer paper
- scissors
Color Matching:
To use the color matching printable, cut the printed sheet in half to create 8 colored gingerbread man cards. Also, cut out the colored circles, for matching. If your child is just beginning to learn this skill, it’s best to only give them a few colors at a time. As they progress you can increase the difficulty by giving them more cards at once. Also, using the extra colored circles ensures the child always has a choice of colors, even on the last card.
