About Me

Hampshire, United Kingdom
Hi I'm Louise and I've been working with children for over 8 years! Having working in a private day nursery for 6years and now currently working as a Nanny for two families per week. I have been a Nanny since September 2010. I love being able to provide the children in my care a range of different play based activities which they may otherwise never get to experience . I also try to ensure that whilst having fun they're learning important skills to help promote their development and life skills.

Scented Gingerbread Men

Want to create your own Gingerbread men pictures which smell good enough to eat? 



















Yes? then you will need...

*A Gingerbread man template cut out onto brown card
*Ground Cinnamon (as much or as little as you like)
*Ground Ginger (as much or as little as you like)
*A splash of water
*Ribbons, or other any other materials
*Buttons
*Painting Sponges
*glue


















First we mixed together some cinnamon and ginger with a little water to make a think "paint" like consistency, Then using the sponges we covered the Gingerbread men in the scented "paint" mix.


















We then dipped the buttons into some glue and placed them on the our Gingerbread men, and repeated with the ribbon too. We then tried to use mini pom poms to create the face but found they wouldn't stick to the card, so instead we had to use some googly eyes.
Then finally once they had dried, we used a black pen to draw on a mouth.
