Little gingerbread people

What could be more charming for a holiday party of little children than a platter of sweet little gingerbread people all bundled up in colorful red & green scarves to brave the cold?


I made this darling little batch of gingerbread men for my son's holiday party today.  Their sweet smiles and happy expressions are sure to invite oodles of giggles and joy to the kids.



Imagine the tiny hands of the kids clasping onto one of these cheery fellows...





With fruit leather scarves, cinnamon candy noses, royal icing smiles, and chocolate chip eyes...





it's an explosion of sweet candy and yummy spice sure to please even the most temperamental toddler!

    Judy, the dear little snowmen are so sweet. I bet Andrew and his friends LOVED them. I love your idea of using fruit roll ups for scarves. You are so creative.

    I'm so far behind in reading your posts. My laptop was on the fritz and just got it back today. Our oldest has the same laptop as you and LOVES it!!!! She got it when she started Univ in the fall. Enjoy, I know you will!!

    Wishing you, Tom and Andrew the best Christmas yet. Blessings to you all for 2010!
