To make the gingerbread man I had my daughter use her thumb for the body and head.&nbsp; Then she used her pointer finger for the two arms and two legs of the gingerbread man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Next you will need to set up a painting tray for the gingerbread ornament details.&nbsp;We used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00ATJSD8I\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thedsponit02-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00ATJSD8I&amp;linkId=9570213b139217d140649d3e16c11562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">black, white and red acrylic paint<\/a> for the details.&nbsp;Grab a toothpick for each color.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Fingerprint-Gingerbread-Ornament-for-Handmade-Christmas-with-Kids-.jpg\" alt=\"Fingerprint Gingerbread Ornament for Handmade Christmas with Kids\" class=\"wp-image-24515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Fingerprint-Gingerbread-Ornament-for-Handmade-Christmas-with-Kids-.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Fingerprint-Gingerbread-Ornament-for-Handmade-Christmas-with-Kids--600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Fingerprint-Gingerbread-Ornament-for-Handmade-Christmas-with-Kids--300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>TIP: It&#8217;s helpful to keep some baby wipes nearby to wash off those painted fingers.

Are you ready to make your gingerbread man decorations?&nbsp; First start with the buttons, it helps your child get a feel for how to paint.&nbsp; We used a cake pop stick to make our buttons.&nbsp; A round toothpick or skewer cut in half could work too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dip the stick into the paint and then add the details to your gingerbread man.&nbsp; We then added two eyes with black paint.&nbsp; Once the eyes are dry you can then add a teeny tiny little white dot to bring them to life.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Gingerbread-Man-Ornament-with-Fingerprint.jpg\" alt=\"Gingerbread Man Ornament with Fingerprint\" class=\"wp-image-24516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Gingerbread-Man-Ornament-with-Fingerprint.jpg 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Gingerbread-Man-Ornament-with-Fingerprint-600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Gingerbread-Man-Ornament-with-Fingerprint-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>6. Then using the black paint and a toothpick you can make a smaller circle for the mouth with 5 black dots.&nbsp; Add adorable cheeks to your gingerbread man with two small dots too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.&nbsp; Now it&#8217;s time to add the frosting details.&nbsp; Using a toothpick or very fine paintbrush add the white paint to the arms to create the frosting look on your gingerbread man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: Allow your child to be creative with their handmade ornament. This is just an example, I have a feeling your child&#8217;s will be far more adorable when they make it when it comes from their hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next project to do together would be making
