Here is the finished product! 
This year Ian and I decided we needed some more decorations for our tree. We have up-graded to a larger tree and even with all the decorations on the front-none facing the wall-our tree looked a little bare. We decided to make salt dough gingerbread men to hang on the tree. Ian did a great job rolling and cutting out the gingerbread men. We put cinnamon in the dough to give the men a nice brown ginger look and it also made them smell yummy! They baked all day and smelled so good. Ian was confused as to why we couldn't eat them. He would have broke his teeth on them they were so hard. We sprayed them with clear spray paint and glued on buttons and little pieces of scrap material-they look so cute. I'll have to post a finished product. Ian had a great time with this activity, but both he and Dave are now demanding the real thing! Dave came home with 4 jars of molasses the other day hoping to move the process along-so I'm off to make gingersnaps/gingermen.
