Gingerbread Man Painting


We are studying The Gingerbread Man all week long!  I am reading all of the different gingerbread stories and the kids are LOVING it!  I decided to try a gingerbread painting with them!

First, we wrote a sentence about the story, suing simple sentences and sight words! 😉

Then I traced a gingerbread outline on a piece of large construction paper.  The kids painted the inside of the lines brown.

Ok, I don’t know if this is a horrible idea, because it isn’t washable (shhhhh), but I let them make squiggly lines with puffy paint.  I won’t do this again next year, just because eventually someone will get paint on their clothes.  This went smoothly though, I monitored a table of them all painting at once and we didn’t have any problems!  #Iluckedout

The following day we painted white eyes, three glitter buttons, and one red smile!

    Love this idea- You can mix glue and shaving cream to make puffy paint. I use it for our Snowy Day pictures each year. As long as it is thick it should dry nice and puffy.
