Draw a gingerbread man with buttons and icing in five steps. Make your drawing before you bake and use it as a template for the dough.
The drawings and sheets are free to print at home, preschool and school, but not to sell.
Photograph the drawing and upload it instead of a photo of your child. The story is written around the character, and the illustrations are painted to look like it on every page, from the cover to the final spread.
Cut out the drawing and use it as a template when you bake. Your child could also draw a whole gingerbread family, with different icing on each one.
A gingerbread man who runs away is a classic story. You could start your own Christmas story that way, too.
