Let your children count out a corresponding number of gumdrops (or cheerios) and put on each one. This is a great fun math lesson Have each child create a groundhog on a paper plate. Attach a stick to this and put it in the ground. Measure the shadow of the ground hog every few hours. Graph the results. Discuss with your children Why the Gingerbread Man Afraid to Get Wet.
