This activity is so simple – we had bought a ‘Make your own Gingerbread Man’ kit from Sainsbury’s. Well I hadn’t intended too, but Tyler just put it into our basket, and it was only £1.50, so I thought why not?!
The other day Tyler got it out of the cupboard, eager to eat the smarties-like sweets. I said, no no no, we have to put them on the gingerbread man! I did one first to show him what I meant. Then for the next few, he held the green icing while I directed and squeezed it, as it was a bit too stiff for a toddler to squeeze. He put the buttons on and I put the sprinkles on. Tyler was so so pleased with himself.
I got a bit creative and made a few girl ones too. Here they all are:
A really fun activity, and so easy as everything was in the kit. For £1.50 that’s really not that bad. And I haven’t been paid by Sainsbury’s to write this, it really was just a random purchase!

I love a simple activity and we like to munch these little wonders while reading the gingerbread man story snug infront of the fire (in winter…or UK summer!)
