Because these are just too cute:

I just use a people die cut and brown construction paper. I send home baggies if they want to bring in their own stuff - this year some kids brought in marshmallows, lids, cupcake liners (never thought of that!), yarn, string. {But NO glitter! I am just not a glitter girl.} I put out my tub of scrap paper; I have some yarn I'll cute for them; I have some sequins I let them dig through. It is so much fun!
And this year, I'm going to have them write about it. Monday, they are going to describe their gingerbread person. Ooh, ooh, and I just thought of this as I was typing this. LOL Then I'll have them read their description and see if we can figure out which one is theirs. Oh, I am sooo good!
What's the fun-nest thing you do all year? Is it at this time of year?
We make gingerbread people at school, then the kiddos take them home. I give them paper and they write about their adventures with their gingerbread person (who they name). They can either draw pictures or their parents can send in pictures of them with their gingerbread person. Kind of like Flat Stanley. It keeps them writing over break, and it is fun to see what they do with their little creation!

Oh, I like that idea, too! Mine might have to write about the nose falling off or something like that.

Cute! We do something similar for Halloween costumes and the kids have to guess which costume belongs to which student. They are so creative!

Ah, great minds think alike! It would be fun to do something like this with other holidays.

Cute! I don't do glitter either. The stuff just never goes away!
