Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 why not use ginger powder for sticking pictures? You know what I mean, the same way you use glitter. We use curry powder and coconut for rangoli patterns at Diwali in the same way. The room smells great for weeks! Liz x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Not so much display ideas but you could do, Ginger smelling playdough Ginger smelling slat dough (would that work???) and cut into gingerbread men with cutters, bake in oven then display. finger painting (add ginger to paint) (children could smell it as they paint) hmmmm, some simple animals that the ginger bread man encounters and use fur, tissue paper etc (different materials) to decorate them, children would enjoy feeling them. That's about it, must add i have never tried ginger smelling paint, or ginger slat dough but it may work. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 we cut out man shapes from sandpaper and then the children spent hours rubbing them with cinnamon sticks and enjoyed the texture and smell etc. not ginger but similar inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Some great ideas. I'm going to move this into a more suitable place since it isn't about training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie A. Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 We're cooking gingerbread men next week. Any foolproof recipes? Thanks, Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie A. Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, Have found a recipe for gingerbread men and tried it out. It's simple and very tasty! 110g block marg or butter 110g soft dark sugar 3 tbsp syrup (warmed first as it's easier to measure) 350g self-raising flour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 2 rounded tsp ground ginger Melt marg, sugar and syrup slowly in a saucepan. Put dry ingredients in a bowl. Add melted mixture. Stir and form a dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Cut out gingerbread men. Re-form "bits" into a ball and roll again. Place on greaseproof paper on a baking sheet. Cook for 8-10 mins at 190 C. Makes about 10 gingerbread men. Allow to cool, decorate with currants for eyes, glace cherries pieces for mouth pieces, mini smarties for buttons. Use squeezy icing in a tube to "glue" bits on. WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR EARLY AS GINGERBREAD MEN ARE KNOWN TO ESCAPE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
