The best part of this craft is not how it looks. It's how it smells! I found an easy to cut gingerbread man template online and printed those off for the kids to cut and paint. We mixed in cinnamon and a touch of glue to the brown paint to make this painting a lot more fun. It smelled great and was a lot more festive than just using plain paint. The cinnamon mixed in also gave a small amount of texture to the gingerbread man.
After painting, the kids could decorate to their liking using a variety of sparkles and buttons by just placing them on the wet paint.
We only had thin paper to use, but I would recommend something a bit thicker to hold up to the paint and whatever decorations you put on top.
Here is my example.
