Creating Gingerbread Activity
Cookie cutters and creating gingerbread men with Model Magic just seemed to come together as an idea on our way home. I didn’t tell him what I was thinking, though. The brown modeling dough was pushed into cookie cutters and set out to dry without a word to him.
On Saturday I set out the dried gingerbread men and various odds and ends that could be used to decorate and redecorate them. JDaniel’s eyes lit up. He was really surprised.
I had made holes in the gingerbread men with the end of a pencil thinking the odds and ends would fit into them. Some of the odds and ends ended up being a little too big. Thankfully the Model Magic has some give to it. JDaniel was able to push in the buttons when he wanted too.
He made all different kinds of gingerbread men that day. Some had button eyes and others had stars in their eyes. The rubbery dough held up despite the number of times it was used.
How cute! I love that you can keep decorating them over and over again.
That sounds fun. We have never tried Model Magic before. Might be a good stocking stuffer.
What a fun surprise for him, I can just picture his eyes lighting up with excitement!
Very cute! Looks like a lot of fun!
That’s a fun way to use cookie cutters. 🙂
My daughter would love these. I think I’ve found quite a few non-cookie ways to use cookie cutters from your blog. Maybe you should write a whole post on using cookie cutters!
oh so cool! My play dough lover will love this idea!
what a fun surprise for him! we’ve gotta try this Model Magic stuff, looks like fun!
