Next, you will want to cut out the gingerbread man and use the template to draw the outline on pieces of cardboard. 

Then, you will be able to use the cutout to cut your cardboard gingerbread men. If you’re making this craft in the classroom with the kids then you may want to do the preparation before class. 

Alternatively, you can get the kids to do this task themselves as it’s a great way to promote fine motor skills through scissors and cutting practice. 

Then, dip your cotton bud into the black paint to create eyes for your cardboard Gingerbread man. Dip the other side into the pink paint for rosy pink cheeks. 

Use another cotton bud to paint white icing onto the arms and legs of the gingerbread man. Finally paint on buttons and draw a red smile. 

Once your Gingerbread man creation is dry, glue ribbon onto the back of your Christmas decoration and glue on your sparkly glitter bow tie. 

These are super cute Gingerbread men and the kids will love them. You can now hang these on your Christmas tree or create a Christmas display at home or in the classroom.
