After a while, the Gingerbread Man reached a farm. Standing at the gate, were two piglets waiting for the farmer to feed them. They were really hungry. When they saw the Gingerbread Man, they jumped out, and joined in the chase. On went the gingerbread man and by-and-by he came to a wolf. The wolf said, "Where ye going, gingerbread man?" Maybe a collage art gingerbread man is more what your kiddos would enjoy. Providing a tray of decorating goodies can give a child the opportunity for creativity and independence. But if you’re looking for more therapeutic benefits, you can incorporate body awareness and multiple fine motor skills. The plot of this re-telling is that everyone wanted to nibble the gingerbread man but he ran too fast until the cookie met the fox. The fox then ate the gingerbread man all up without leaving any crumb for anyone else. This allows there to be two themes to the story. The original theme of if was that if you are boastful, someone cleverer than you will come along and destroy you. The additional theme with this re-telling is one of greed. The fox was so eager to eat up the gingerbread man that his greed overtook him and he left not even one crumb for any of the other characters. The other characters were illustrated as being sad that they didn't get a bite because the fox was so greedy. Organization- This book shows that at the beginning the goal is to catch the gingerbread man and that goal stays true all the way to the end

You can also use traditional tales to energise and lighten-up drier subjects. For example, if there are 10 metres between each animal on the lane, and the gingerbread man meets eight animals, how far does he run?
