Roses  

Colored tootsie rolls, also known as flavor rolls, are the modeling clay of the gingerbread world.

Cut a tootsie roll into 6 pieces to make the petals of the rose, and small pieces for the leaves.  Indentations make softly with the edge of a knife will make the veins of the leaves.

Penguins 

Spice drops for the smaller version, and Gum drops for the larger version.


Two purple, one white, and one orange are needed.  

Slice the outside of one purple into three pieces, and wrap them around the white.

Slice the bottom off of the second purple, and add it to the top of the white.

Cut a small piece of the orange, and attach it to the front of the purple to finish.
