Gingerbread Houses

Today's Craft: Gingerbread Houses
Create a giant gingerbread house that would make Hansel & Gretel proud!
To make this craft project you will a large cardboard box, colored construction paper, scissors, glue, tape, cotton balls, and markers or crayons. To begin, take your box and wrap it in brown construction paper. Next take more brown construction paper, roll each piece into a long paper tube, and then stack these paper rolls, securing them together with glue or tape, creating a pyramid shaped roof on top of your box. Now you have a basic gingerbread house shape to decorate. Now take your construction paper and cut out a wide variety of shapes- rectangles, squares, triangles, circles, and more. Glue your shapes onto the house to create windows, a door, candy trimming and decoration, etc. Add cotton balls for further decoration with glue. Let dry. Enjoy Crafting!
