This Gingerbread Man game is not only fun but educational at the same time. Just have the kiddos roll the die and mark the number on their recording sheet with a bingo dot marker. This activity is available in the Gingerbread Math Packet located in the printables section at pre-kpages.
We always like to have Gingerbread Man cookies to nibble (dismember) on as we play the fast moving game.
A not too spicy recipe for the Gingerbread Man is available at Homemade Mamas.
And then….. the fox asked, “Would you like a ride?”
One of our favorite gifting ideas last year was DIY Gingerbread Playdoh. Take a look at Sweet Sugar Belle’s recipe for gingerbread Playdoh and how adorable her packaging is; complete with a Gingerbread Man cookie cutter!
If you want a twist, try these Nijabread Men.
We’re not sure what time it will end…..

Look how beautifully Skip to My Lou bottled her cheer. Hop on over and you will find her recipe for homemade Irish Cream.
Our first major snowstorm of the season arrived yesterday dropping about a foot of the white stuff. Dependable Team Totally members all battled the snow covered icy roads and managed to have the doors open on time at noon. Yay team! Britt, our fabulous art director, has logged the most time on ice. That is on ice in her younger days with a hockey stick in hand.
Hot apple cider and cookies waited in vain for anyone brave enough to make it a shopping day. It was a rather lonely day for us. Let it Snow and it did! We were not totally snowed like the blizzard of 2010, but this snow was welcomed by some. My name is not on that list.
Sticky snow like this is the ideal snow for making snowmen. We may make some in front of the store today then paint them with special snow paint. Stop by and take a look, then come in and warm up.
If you prefer to stay warm inside, you can try your hand at building these Frosty Snowmen.
Build Your Own Frosty The Snowman.
Family Fun has many other ideas for you too.
Sorry Christina, looks like Richfield High did not declare today a snow day. Maybe next time.

Have an adult do the the carving honors and surprise, surprise look what you’ll find inside! The corn cobs hold a surprise inside too. Instructions for crafting this fascinating turkey can be found here.
Growing up we always found ourselves seated at the kids table. This tradition was undoubtedly for the preservation of fine china, crystal and family heirlooms. If you will be seating little ones at a kids table, give them one they will be thankful for.
Country Living uses a roll of craft paper and some crayons or markers for their special table. Not only will kiddos think that they have the best seat in the house, but this budget friendly cover, provides doodling entertainment before, during, and after the Thanksgiving dinner while waiting for pumpkin pie.
The Idea Room always has the best ideas. How about serving up hand print turkey plates that can easily be decorated with edibles, pasta and seeds.
Life at the kids’ table begins here.
You’ll find a great selection of at child size table and chairs at Totally Kids fun furniture.
“Hands down” this is the most fun Turkey Handprint Cookie you’ll ever bake. Best of all it’s an easy peasey for even the littlest kiddos. Family Corner has the recipe for fun, pop on over.
