Gingerbread Man Puppet Story Set

The Gingerbread Man Puppet Story Set is a fun and interactive way to explore the classic tale of the speedy biscuit who outran everyone-until he met the fox. This boxed set includes a hardback book and six detailed finger puppets: the Gingerbread Man, a little old man, a little old woman, a cat, a horse, and a fox. The puppets match the characters in the story and are perfect for encouraging active participation during reading. As children retell the tale, they strengthen their understanding of story structure, sequencing, and expressive language. The puppets also encourage imaginative play, allowing children to explore different perspectives and outcomes. This story set is ideal for early literacy sessions, dramatic storytelling, and fostering a love of traditional tales in the classroom or at home.
