Cinnamon Gingerbread Man
You will need:
-
Brown construction paper
-
Construction paper for background of a different color (if desired)
-
Cinnamon in a shaker
-
Google eyes
-
Small pink pom pom, bead, or paper circle cut out for nose
-
White glue
-
Glue stick (if desired or you can use white glue)
-
Beads, buttons, pom poms or anything else you like for the buttons
-
Mouth cut out of red felt or red paper
Download and print the gingerbread man template directly onto the brown construction paper and cut it out, or print it separately, trace it and cut it out. Older children can cut their own. Have your child use the glue stick on one side of the gingerbread man and stick to the background paper. Spread white glue all over the gingerbread man with your finger or a paintbrush. Have your child sprinkle cinnamon all over the gingerbread man and shake off the excess. Add glue and gingerbread man features.
Xayden had fun sprinkling cinnamon.
We had a lot of fun making these gingerbread men. If you decide to try it out, feel free to share your picturs on the Capri + 3 Facebook page.
Thanks for hosting a fun party. A great idea for your little ones is to make a new ornament for each of them each year, so that when they start out on their own they will already have a nice collection. The paperclip angel is easy, and you could do green or blue for the boys, and red or pink for Capri.
Thank you Noreen.
That is a great idea! I love it. Your paperclip angels are really cute. I also like your snowman pouf (not an ornament but could get them started on holiday decor).
