Ingredients:
* 1 cup ground cinammon
* 1 cup applesauce
* 1/4 cup school or craft glue
Tools:
* Wax paper or plastic wrap
* Rolling pin or round glass bottle
* Gingerbread man cookie cutter 3-5″ in height
* Plastic drinking straw
Directions:
Combine 1 cup cinnamon, 1 cup applesauce, and ¼ cup glue. Mix thoroughly. Dough should be stiff; add more cinnamon if it is too soft. Roll between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread shapes with cutter and make a hanging hole with straw. Move to drying rack, paper towel, or newspaper.
Allow to dry for 2-3 days, carefully flipping occasionally. Ornaments will lighten in color as they dry.
