First, I traced their outlines on brown craft paper. The outlines were not perfect AT ALL, but they didn't seem to mind.
They used markers and crayons to decorate the gingerbread boy and gingerbread girl. This activity took most of Sunday afternoon and they both had a lot of fun creating their gingerbread selves.

That looks like a lot of fun! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
What a GREAT idea!!! Can you tell me where you found the paper??
This is brilliant! I wonder if I can get my kids to stay still long enough to do this?
Very nice! I like the licorice hair on the gingerbread girl :)
Luke is obsessed with the gingerbread boy! He loves the whole story...I am going to do a whole week on Gingerbread just for him! I was thinking about doing something like this...but now that you have put it all together for me...we will be adding this to our activities! =)
Thanks again!
This is too funny, C positively knew how to highlight the fact that his is a boy :)
They never mind if it's not perfect if you make it.
We trace around each other in chalk a lot.
super cute!! Love how creative they both were with decorating theirs!
I just requested gingerbread books from the library. I didnt get the gingerbread girl though. My daughter is obsessed with body tracing, I will have to remember that.
What a fun idea! We will be doing this for sure... thanks for sharing :)
What a good idea. And I just happen to have a roll of brown paper left over from a painting project!
Thank you for the inspiration...we did this this morning! My kids, especially M, loved making a gingerbread girl!
Very cute!
