Gingerbread Man in a Bag

A Gingerbread man in a bag is a fun and easy Christmas craft for kids using only a few supplies. All you need is paper, a Ziplock bag, paints, googly eyes, and pom-poms. Run, run, run as fast as you can, let’s make a gingerbread man!

Start by folding a piece of white paper in half and drawing half of a gingerbread man outline. Cut along the line to create a full-sized gingerbread man. Next, place the blank gingerbread man into the Ziplock bag with a few different paint colors. Let students smoosh and press the paint around in the bag until a color consistency has been reached. Pull out the gingerbread man and complete the craft by adding eyes and buttons with pom-poms. Your little ones are sure to love this process art activity for Christmas!
