Gingerbread Man Ornaments

From advent calendar - day 1

How We Made It

My daughter is only 3 years old, so I went ahead and traced the gingerbread man and cut it out for her. We didn't have Elmers glue so we used Mod Podge to paint the gingerbread man and sprinkled the cinnamon on top. After letting it dry a little, we then decorated it with googly eyes, rick rack, buttons and a pom pom. My daughter really enjoyed it and it was a quick, easy project for us to do together.
