• We will make our own gingerbread cookies
• Make a gingerbread house -graham crackers, frosting, candy
• Frost and decorate cookies

  My son has literally been asking to do gingerbread stuff since July so we're going to kick off December with that. We're going to divide these activities into two days.
• Make gingerbread baby ornaments
  -1 ½ cups of cinnamon, 1 cup applesauce, 1/3 cup glue
• Make paper bag gingerbread house
