Gingerbread is yummy.

Gingerbread activities:

• Gingerbread playdough

We love all the holiday Jan Brett books.

Bubba really got into the Gingerbread stories and these fun printables.

Make gingerbread playdough with spices!

We did a fun gingerbread sensory craft.

I printed gingerbread boy outlines on brown paper. (I Googled for the outlines.)

I had the kids paint white glue on the gingerbread kids.

And then decorate the gingerbread men with beads, sequins, etc.

And then sprinkle on spices.

Lots of spices.

and that wasn’t enough!

He who controls the spice controls the universe.

The finished “cookie”

We had fun with this sensory craft!
