Gingerbread Project

Mommy and Gracie got to do a school project together this afternoon, and I am not sure who had more fun!

Each child was sent home a gingerbread template and told to cut it out and use household products to decorate the person with a parent(s).

The home work project is due tomorrow.

I got so excited (even though I forgot to do it with her this weekend), I pulled out all sorts of things from my craft room and had them ready on the kitchen table when she got home from school.

I suggested to Gracie that maybe we could make our gingerbread an "angel." I was thrilled when she thought it was a good idea, because I had already fond the perfect items :)

She picked out the fabric she wanted for the angel's dress. Then, I drew some wings and let her cut those out and add glitter.

By the time the angel was done we had added ribbon, jingle bells, lace, and a halo.

She is very pretty, and Gracie and I are quite proud of the work we did together.

Of course why stop at just one craft?! Gracie was more than willing to use the "scraps" from the gingerangel to make all sorts of other things while I cooked dinner.

I LOVE when they let us parents get involved!!
