As Christmas approaches, I get so excited to read aloud some of my favorite Christmas themed reading. I am always a big fan of gingerbread books and gingerbread crafts. I think I love them because they generally work regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas at school or not. Many schools may not do Santa and the like, so gingerbread can be a great festive alternative. These 17 Gingerbread Books for Kids are sure to be a hit this season!
*combine these read alouds with our gingerbread centerpieces for a whole month of out-of-the-box fun!
