Snap together Gingerbread Cookie Toys for Kids

Not all Gingerbread Cookies are editable. We are not talking about poorly cooked cookies, but rather Gingerbread Men and Women decorations, and now… kids toys!

We found these fun little toy set (small, so not for kids under 3) of all kinds of Gingerbread Men and Gingerbread Women. “Learning Resources – Smart Snacks Gingerbread Sort & Snap” Each painted up colorfully and unique to each other. An added bit of fun for kids is that the hands snap together so they can make Gingerbread ‘people’ chains. Since each figurine is different from the next, it could be fun to make a chain of grouping two next to each other with the same color hair then the same color pants, etc… Hmmm… maybe we need to get a set for the adults here to play with.

Interactive Gingerbread Man Online Coloring Page for the Kids

Don’t have your box of color crayons handy? Not a problem. We found this Web page that has a great bit of fun for the kids. No need to worry about marking up the table cloth when a pen goes wide off the paper. This interactive color site has a fun Gingerbread Man that kids of all ages (yes, that means us too!) can color between the lines using their computer. There is a wide variety of color choices so no two finished pieces of art will look the same.

If you want to keep the creation, a print feature is provided for too. The default printing looks like a full size page of paper so the Gingerbread Man will be enjoyed by many.

There are many other holiday coloring outlines available, so there is something for just about everyone.

Gingerbread Crafts and Activities with the whole family

Gingerbread Women, Men and Houses isn’t just cookie making. There are a lot of fun things the Gingerbread Fan Family can do together. There are many craft ideas online, a few even offer templates and project outlines so there is a lot less resource hunting having to be done. And, I will admit it, they usually cover up my lack of drawing ability with already laid out artwork. Whew!!

Two sites you might be interested in.

“Crafts for Kids” offers a page of fun resources, free for you to use:

Also, a resource for finding craft bits is Etsy. Usually people think of this site as having only completed work created by others. This is a link as an example to Gingerbread bottle cap art bits. You get quite a few for just a couple dollars that will take hours for your family to use as everyone creates their own favorite art.

Hot Chocolate To Go with your Gingerbread Treats

Crunching on my favorite Gingerbread Man cookies is only half of the fun. To really round off  the fun, I like to have hot chocolate to go with it. Particularly with the temperatures dropping these days. Searching around for hot chocolate online options, I came across a little bundle called “Cocoa On The Go” for sharing out the fun with others. It’s a kit of a variety of hot chocolate drinks and a travel mug… all in a gift container. Sure sure… we ordered for ourselves too… it’s for testing before we buy others ones for gifts. OK, maybe it’s actually just an excuse to get more hot chocolate to go with the latest batch of Gingerbread Men coming out of the oven!

From Boca Java: This is a great option for you. Try our extire assortment of delicious hot Cocoas, included in the gift is 7oz of our Trio chocolate cocoa, 7oz of our Caramel praline cocoa, 7oz of our chocolate hazelnut mocha, and 7oz of double chocolate cocoa. Take it with you in our fabulous stainless steel Timbolino travel mug.

3D Laser Cut Crystal Gingerbread Man

We were in a store and saw a bunch of  crystal shapes with holiday scenes cut into them. It seemed like a great idea for a Gingerbread man or a Gingerbread house but they had non. After a lengthy search on the internet we found a company (3D Laser Gifts) that takes our picture and cuts the images into the crystal. We did a couple out of excitement of course and will post pictures of them here when they arrive. Of course, you can do pictures of your family or other Gingerbread items, our mind was on a little gingerbread man town at the time so that is what we are trying out. We are hoping the 3D effect will really make the little town come alive. They claim quick turn around so we might have time to order a few as gifts too…
