Gingerbread Beanbags

Faux Gingerbread Folk
Darling little gingerbread people that you won't need a mixing bowl to make! You could even create a gingerbread village with these adorable little bean bag guys and a few faux gingerbread buildings!

WHAT YOU NEED
• Scissors
• Brown felt
• Fabric glue
• Uncooked rice
• Lentils or beans
White and colored puffy paints
Time needed: Under 1 Hour

Step 1: For each beanbag, help your child cut two matching gingerbread shapes from the brown felt.
Step 2: Use the fabric glue to seal the two shapes together at the edges, leaving an inch-wide opening along the seam. Fill the beanbag with the rice, lentils, or small beans, then glue the opening shut.
Step 3: When the glue has dried, help your child decorate each one with puffy paint outlines, buttons, and facial features
