Whether you love baking gingerbread man cookies, are planning a gingerbread theme lesson, or just love anything scented, our newest gingerbread slime is the answer. Our holidays slimes are really popular, and this year I challenged us to come up with a gingerbread man series. Enjoy the scented science and sensory play.

SCENTED GINGERBREAD SLIME FOR A HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS

If you have been around with us for a little while, you know how much we love slime. We have slimes for every season, holiday and occasion. I guess you could say we are slime crazy, and that’s because our slime recipe is so easy to make.

This season we are exploring a gingerbread man science theme. We have already checked out dissolving gingerbread men, crystal gingerbread men, and now we have gingerbread slime with gingerbread men cookie cutters!

MAKE SURE TO BOOKMARK ALL OUR HOLIDAY SLIMES!

Slime is chemistry, so it makes this gingerbread slime an awesome Christmas science activity to do with the kids! You can read more about the basic science behind our homemade slime. We love the play end of it all the most.

CHECK OUT OUR PLAY WITH GINGERBREAD SLIME AND LOOK FOR THE RECIPE BELOW!

Adding any of your cookie cutters not just the gingerbread man ones is perfect! You can also add buttons, glitter, an whatever else you think the kids will enjoy. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of gingerbread cookies!

Our gingerbread slime is definitely different than gingerbread play dough! I have a kid who loves slime more than play dough, but I still want to have some of the fun of the classic gingerbread man play dough activities. This is it!

Our scented gingerbread slime is awesome on the senses. My husband and son thought I was baking cookies. Apparently, that’s going to be next on my to-do list this week!

What else can you do with those cookie cutters, check out this simple gingerbread man pattern art project for the kids to do anytime! Or you can use those cookie cutters for fizzy science!

SLIME SUPPLIES

White Elmer’s Washable Glue

Water

Cinnamon, Ground Cloves, Ginger {whatever you like and just cinnamon is great too}

Bowl and Spoon

1/2 Cup Measure

Cookie Cutters

The spices give the slime its wonderful color just like the classic play dough recipes!

Click on the black button below to see the full recipe with step by step directions. I mixed in a tablespoon and a half, 1/4 teaspoon of both ground cloves and ginger to the water and glue mixture. It will take a bit to get it mixed in. If you want you can just pour the starch into the same container, but it’s important to transfer the already made slime to a dry container.

Slime has a wonderful stretchable quality. Although the mixing can be messy, the end result is not all that messy on the hands. Store in a plastic container with a lid for up to a month of play {depending on how dirty it might get!}
