Gingerbread Man Hunt

Woo Hoo, it's nearly time for our annual Gingerbread Man Hunt...this will be our fifth year of hunting the little guy down!!!  First we bake and decorate him then when no one is looking he runs away leaving a trail of hidden clues.  It is such a fun little Christmas activity that you can do with one, or a whole bunch of kids.  

Here are the clues I put together for this year...

You can check out other year's clues here and here.  And...I have made free downloadable clue cards that can be edited so you can add your own clues and print out!

Enjoy!

{Free Printables} A Gingerbread Man Hunt!

Yay, I have begun doing all the prep work for our annual Christmas Eve Gingerbread Man Hunt!!!  This is now the third year we have done the hunt and I have to say, it is definitely a highlight of our Christmas season.  First we bake and decorate some Gingerbread Men.  Ashlee chooses her favorite, then...Oh No, it runs away leaving clues in its wake.

For this year's hunt, I made a some changes to the clue cards (You can check out last year's clues here).  And I have even made the free downloadable clue cards editable so you can add your own clues and print!

Here are this year's clues...

You Can't Catch Me!

Looking for a fun Christmas activity for the kids?  Last Christmas Eve I made up a little 'Gingerbread Man Treasure Hunt' for Ashlee and she loved it, so I am excited about doing another one this year.

After decorating some yummy Gingerbread Men, Ashlee gets to choose which one she's going to eat...

Oh no!!! The Gingerbread Man is gone leaving a clue in its' place...

This next clue is hidden under an easy to make scratch-off panel.   Just stick a piece of sticky backed plastic (contact paper) over the clue then paint it with a couple of layers of acrylic paint mixed with a little dish soap (2:1) then let it dry!

I drew this clue using a wax candle.  Just color with watercolor paint to reveal...Magic!!!

Hurry and eat him before he takes off again!!!
