Make Your Own Holiday Play Doh mat in Cricut Design Space
My mom and sister are both pre-school teachers at a small private school. They always welcome new activities for their little ones, and as soon as I saw Jen’s darling Gingerbread Man cut file, I knew it would be a perfect sensory and fine motor skill development tool.

Instructions
- Open the Design Space Cut File and size it to fit your needs. I wanted this one to fit on a standard piece of card stock, so I have the largest piece set at 10”
- Place the cardstock on a cutting mat.
- Send the project to cut.
- Remove the excess paper.
- Remove the tags from the cutting mat. *Keep the tags from curling by removing the mat from the tags. The mats are very pliable.
- Repeat for each color.
- Place each layer of the gingerbread man on a sheet of heavy weight cardstock.
- Carefully cover the entire image and piece of cardstock with contact paper or packing tape.
