Easy "Gingerbread" People That I Know

Use brown paper grocery bags, or the piece of brown paper you often find rolled up after the gift wrap is gone to make these personal gingerbread people with faces that your child knows. These may be used for tree ornaments, package decorations, or card enclosures for relatives far away. Great teacher gift, too. Child holding the finished gingerbread people.

I think this craft is adorable. I am going to have my daughter make them for her preschool teachers.
