What’s Inside My Gingerbread House Paper Craft
If you’re racing to figure out what cute project to quickly put up in the hallway for Christmas look no further. Students can complete the gingerbread house in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your projects.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the printable template. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!

I was super excited to have found a gingerbread resource for the older kids. I loved this and the kids loved making their own. They took their time with their projects and were very creative when describing their houses. Thank you, will for sure use this in the future!

I used the coloring pages as a gingerbread house front for a 3D gingerbread contest my fifth graders were working on. So many great choices. Then we wrote detailed directions on how to build a gingerbread house. Great resource. Thanks
