Use your computer to print out instructions (font is brown) for decorating the gingerbread man on white cardstock. Tear out the instructions and sponge around the edges with carmel. Stamp the gingerbread man on white, color and cut him out; use a pop dot to attach him. Use the punch to make holes for ribbon and tie a bow. On back, use wheel across top and color. Put cookie (Little Debbie Gingerbread Man - available only at Christmas), M&M's (M&M mini's can be found around holidays in little bags like this.), & frosting in cello bag and staple topper on. I did these for my 2nd graders class! Get the little baggies in the craft section, you know the ones you put beads or embordery floss in. Use a decorating bag to fill the little baggies with a small amount of vanilla frosting (store bought lasts longer).
The tag says:
Gingerbread Man Kit
To decorate your gingerbread man, first remove gingerbread man from package. Cut a small diagonal piece off one of the bottom corners of the package of frosting. Decorate your gingerbread man with the M&M's by squeezing a little frosting from the bag onto the gingerbread man where you want to put your M&M's.

This is a great idea and I plan to CASE it for my nieces and nephews. I have looked high and low and can't find the gingerbread cookies you used. Where did you get them? What brand name, etc.? I finally bought some Pepperidge Farm cookies, but they were kind of pricey. Thanks for sharing this great idea and I hope to hear from you soon. You can email me at [email protected] THANKS AGAIN
