The Littlest Diva and I had some crafting time all to ourselves last week.
We were going to make Gingerbread Men
so I asked her how she wanted to do it
& she promptly replied - "in the marble box, Mommy"
Great idea!

Great idea!
Marble Paint Gingerbread Man
What You Need:
gingerbread man cutout ( we used cardboard)
box
brown paint
marbles
various pom poms, button, sequins, etc for decorating
wiggly eyes & yarn for mouth (optional)
What To Do:
1. Tape template to box and add some paint & marbles
2. Shake, Shake, Shake!
 |
| Shaking the marbles around - by far her favorite part! |
3. Shake until the template is nicely coated in paint.
Do a little dance, a few jumps, run in place - make it FUN!
Note - close the box & let them at it!
They will enjoy it and the mess stays in the box.
 |
| Looks like a mess but it was FUN to do! |
4. Let your gingerbread man dry.
5. Put out various craft supplies (pom poms, buttons, sequins, etc)
and let children decorate as desired.
My Lil Diva was so proud of her Gingerbread Man.
There are so many versions of the Gingerbread Man Story
Here are a few of the Books We Read:

Did you have any trouble with your paper curling up after you painted? I run into that a lot in my preschool classroom, and we always have to flatten the artwork before we can add other decorations.
