Easy and simple decorations would be mixing up a batch buttercream frosting and adding green food coloring, use green jelly beans, green gummy clovers, and any type of green candy. Might be a little easier to decorate your gingerbread cookies with some tinted green royal icing and giving your gingerbread boys and girls some green pants or skirts and matching tops!

Petco wrapping up season with Gingerbread Dog Chews

All year, our pup enjoys her little rawhide chews. Keeps her teeth clean and gives her something to do rather than watching what we are cooking.

In Petco last weekend, we saw they were discounting their holiday chews and toys. Right up front where these fun rawhide chews… Gingerbread Men!! They are actually pretty big, these would take our pup a long time to work through. The chews don’t go bad just because it isn’t the holiday season, that is only for us. For dogs, they just know it’s a treat year around.

Remember this post a month ago? (Where do you start when eating your Gingerbread Man Cookie) I wonder if this is the case with dogs eating their Gingerbread Men too. Ha!

Gingerbread Fun continues at Antique Stores

As our little fun Gingerbread holiday bits and pieces go back into boxes, one place has the fun year round. Walking through our local Antique store this weekend we were greeted with a smiling face of a new Gingerbread Man pitcher. Well, new to us, it’s a few years old.

Looking around, we saw all kinds of fun Gingerbread items we just can’t live without. Some are very holiday based, others are cute kitchen items that will look great year around. Need a Gingerbread Man fix, just buzz by your local Antique store.

Gingerbread Men Dog Treats, fun for the whole family

Anytime you have a Gingerbread Man cookie in hand, you will find your family pet is not far away. They can tell they are missing out on something since everyone smiles when eating their cookies, and the Gingerbread aroma is hard to miss.

Our dogs will now be able to join in on the fun with Pawsitively Gourmet Classic Gingerbread Man Cookies for Dogs. Available a convenient 32 ounce package. The treats look just like the ‘human’ version of a Gingerbread Man cookie, but made for your dog as a healthy treat. Well, healthier than sharing your frosted cookie. Looking at them though, it’s hard to tell the difference between your cookie and your dog’s version.

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.

Making Gingerbread Men Cookies on the iPad and iPhone

No, don’t use your iPad as a serving tray or a plate for your cookies in the oven. This is more about having fun making ‘digital’ cookies on your iPad or iPhone. The application available through the iTunes app store is ‘Cookie Doodle‘.

With the app, you choose your dough, roll it out, choose the cookie cutter, bake and then decorate to make them ‘your’ creations. Your cookies can be saved as an image or sent out with an email right from your iPad and iPhone. One cookie doesn’t say what you want to say? You can create a plate of cookies to share, giving you more oportunities to show your Gingerbread decorating creative side. Grab your copy of Cookie Doodle for a bit of family fun too, there is no charge to make endless number of cookies after the initial 99 cents for the app.

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.
