I’m so happy to be partnering with Mini Babybel® to bring you this fun easy craft! Thank you so much for supporting the brands that make Wine & Glue possible! I’m so happy we can go full swing into Christmas posts! Do you remember the other day when I told you that I had a post coming up that needed those cute Ninjabread Man Cookie Cutters? This is it! These cute little guys are super easy to make, and you make them in “normal” gingerbread man fashion, or you can ninjafy them!
This makes such a fun Christmas craft to do with the kiddos. But I decided that if your kids are anything like mine they will get so hangry (hungry + angry = HANGRY) during craft time that they will turn into actual ninjas. So . . . to avoid that I made you guys (and my kiddos) this super easy snack tray!
The best part of this snack tray is that it is ridiculously easy. And that is in large part because it involves grabbing a big ‘ole handful of Mini Babybel and putting it smack in the middle. I love these Mini Babybel because they are easy to throw in lunches, easy to pass out as snacks at home, and they are no muss no fuss. Plus! They are a good source of protein, so they keep my kids happy and not hangry which makes craft time with them a lot more fun. For more great snack ideas, make sure you follow Babybel on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. These Gingerbread Men and Ninjabread Men Christmas Ornaments are so easy! And even better, they smell like gingerbread cookies! They are perfect for kids to make and give away as gifts to teachers, grandparents, etc. Should we get started? NOTE: It takes about 4 hours from starting until you are ready to decorate, so plan accordingly.
3/4 cup ground cinnamon (use an off brand) 1/4 cup ground ginger 1 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp all spice 1/4 cup applesauce 1/2 cup liquid white glue (like what you buy for school supplies)
We used some glitter glue to decorate ours, and it worked perfectly! Full disclosure: This picture below of Miss Quinn is absolutely staged. I am not a super mom with super kids who are always clean. The actual decorating involved two more children wearing very little clothing and making an absolute mess while they decorated, ate fruit, and enjoyed their Mini Babybel. ;) And of course my kids far preferred the Ninjabread Men :)
