Guest Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Hello everyone. Does anyone have some fabulous ideas for the theme of the Gingerbread man??? Im making ginger brown playdough, acting out the story and making gingerbread men. Just need some more... It's only for one week xxx
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 How about gingerbread house (Lakeland Limited have kits) Huge bits of paper to draw round each other and make into big gingerbread man display? There must be something with the animals and the river etc, but I can't think just now
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Sequencing pictures and props of who followed him. Maths, quarter, half, whole. Shapes to use for nose, eyes, mouth. Dipping biscuits in water to see what happens.
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 When we did gingerbread men, when we went to the oven they had run away and left a picture of where thy had gone, Children then had to follow the clues to find them, we had 4 clues to follow in the setting before finding them again!

AnonyMouse_12524 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 How do you make brown play dough???
Guest Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 How do you make brown play dough??? powered paint, ready mix paint, liquid food colouring mixed seperately first (orange and green), ground coffee, gravy browning or cinnamon OR you can buy small pots of HIGHLY concenrated paste food colouring. More expensive but last ages as you use a cocktail stick to add very small amounts.Its great for getting deep rich colours. If you use bottled red because your mixing it with white flour you get a pinky red, a paste red will give you a Santa red. Not used this online shop I usually go to a bricks and mortar cake decorating shop but this is what I mean paste colouring

Been wondering how to make different coloured playdough (other than the little bottles you find in supermarkets) for ages. Many thanks.
