Gingerbread Man Ornaments

From advent calendar - day 1

How We Made It

First, we traced gingerbread men onto cardboard and cut them out. Then, we painted them with glue and shook cinnamon on them to make them smell good. Finally, we decorated them with construction paper and sequins.

This was a fun project, the 1st through 5th graders were able to do everything on their own and the preschoolers needed a lot of guided help.

Tips and Tricks

  • Be sure to shake off any excess cinnamon or the glue will not stick.
