FIELD TRIP:
Some communities host Gingerbread House Contests every December and showcase the most amazing gingerbread house. If you are lucky enough to live near such an event attend it with your family as part of this Theme Day!
I couldn’t think of any other gingerbread jokes. If you know any email us here: info@familythemedays.ca

Make some Gingerbread play dough:
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice, ginger and nutmeg
1 cup of water
1 tsp vegetable oil
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium sized saucepan. Mix the water and vegetable oil in a separate bowl and then pour into the dry ingredients. Stir to mix together well.
Put the pot on low heat and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until dough-like. Roll into a ball and let it it until cool. Then it is ready for play!
Keep it in a container so it won't dry out!
