Measure dry ingredients in bowl. In a separate bowl, add icing coloring and water. Stir. Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix well. Knead until well blended. Shape dough into a ball. Invite your child to either roll out the dough using a rolling pin or press flat with his hands. Additional flour on the work surface will help keep the dough from sticking. Using the cookie cutter, cut out a gingerbread man. Place it on a paper plate and invite your child to decorate it using the buttons, googley eyes, beads, etc. Poke a hole in the top of the head with a pencil or straw. Allow to airdry for a few days. Flip ornament to dry backside. One completely dry, spray with an acrylic sealer to preserve and give a special shine. Tie a ribbon through the top and hang on the Christmas tree.
