Wooden Spoon Gingerbread Man

Craft Spoon Gingerbread Men

You can’t “catch” him because he’s the gingerbread man BUT you can “craft” him up!

Today’s Wooden Spoon Gingerbread Man kid craft idea is not only super simple and completely customizable but it also goes along perfectly with the book “The Gingerbread Man Loose At Christmas” by Laura Murry {affiliate link on Amazon}

This Gingerbread Man was loose in the school and on the fire truck, and now he’s loose at holiday time! 

Everyone in class is busy practicing songs and making goodies for their trip to town to thank community helpers, and the Gingerbread Man has made a gift for someone extra sweet. But before he can deliver his gift, whipping wind and swirling snow come to town, too. Slushy sidewalks are no place for a cookie, but this Gingerbread Man won’t let a little bad weather stop him!

“I’ll search on my own, as fast as I can!
I’ll dash through this snow. I’m the Gingerbread Man!”

With all the flavors of the season and generous dashes of kindness and gratitude, the Gingerbread Man’s newest adventure makes for a perfect read-aloud throughout the holidays.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t let this idea “run” away! Find the full tutorial below and “bake” up a sweet piece with your child today! Then come share pictures of your gingerbread men puppets made from wooden spoons, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see them!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Now go have some crafty fun with your little one today! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
