Puffy Paint Gingerbread Man

Print the page and make a stencil of it.  Have the children trace and cut out a gingerbread man. 
Mix up puffy paint and have the children decorate their gingerbread man.  You can make puffy paint by
 mixing one part shaving cream with two parts glue.  It only needs to be stirred a little bit. 
To color the paint, add either paint or food coloring.  If you have never used puffy paint before, practice
"painting" before you give the paint to the children so you can instruct them how to use it. 
The paint is really just blobbed onto the paper, not rubbed back and forth.
The paint takes a day to dry so keep that in mind when planning this project.
