Gingerbread People theme

I made gingerbread cookies at home, for the kids to decorate to get in the mood for our project.
 
I set up a cookie decorating station. They were instructed to decorate, then eat immediately!
 



 
    


Then, we made gingerbread pins from everyone's favorite Shrinky Dink!
 
 
Another cookie decorating and eating break...

Back to work


I gave this template to trace. You can see how much the shrinky dinks shrink! I had pin backs to attach, so they could make them into pins for possible gifts.
 
They, clearly, didn't need to stick with the gingerbread theme.
 
Liam likes a theme for his cookie and shrinky dinks!
