Santa Claus Showing Off Three Gingerbread Men

Santa Claus stands facing forward in his hat with a pom-pom, a big curly beard, and a round nose. He holds up two gingerbread men, one in each hand, and a third gingerbread man sits in front of his belly with its feet resting on the fur trim of his coat. Each cookie has a smiling face, a wavy icing edge, mitten-like hands and feet, and a row of buttons down the middle. Small numbers sit inside each section, and a color key at the bottom matches 1 to red, 2 to green, 3 to beige, 4 to pink, 5 to brown, and 6 to black. Try coloring all the gingerbread men brown first, then ask kids to count how many sections use number 5. It is a nice way to practice number matching and counting during the holidays.
