A few years ago I made gingerbread men for Christmas and now they are my most requested cookie. However, their little arms and legs break so easily when moving them around. This year I use a wide mouth mason jar and made gingerbread faces. So much easier and just as cute.
Years ago I bought a fish turner at Bed Bath & Beyond, it looks like a metal spatula but it is about 8" wide! I find it perfect not only for turning delicate fish steaks but also for moving larger delicate items like gingerbread men :)

If I can brag on my Oklahoma Pastry Cloth™, I've been making gingerbread men and other cut-out cookies for years on it and my gingerbread men come out with arms and legs intact! No crutches or slings needed! :-) OK, advertisement is over.
