Bring holiday magic to life with the Gingerbread Village Craft! This hands-on activity lets kids create their own 3D gingerbread houses using scissors, glue, and coloring supplies. With three different house designs to choose from, kids can personalize their village with vibrant colors and creative touches. Clear labels, cut lines, and tabs make assembly easy, ensuring a fun and successful crafting experience.
What’s Included:
- Three Gingerbread House Designs: Kids can color, cut, and assemble three unique houses to create a festive village.
- Easy-to-Follow Instructions: Clearly labeled cut lines and glue tabs guide kids through the folding and assembly process.
- Creative Customization: Add personal touches with crayons, markers, or colored pencils to make each house one-of-a-kind.
How It Works:
- Color: Decorate the gingerbread house templates with your favorite colors.
- Cut: Use scissors to carefully cut along the marked lines.
- Fold and Glue: Follow the solid lines to fold the house into shape. Starting at the bottom, glue each tab to the inside edge of the walls. Then glue the side tab, and finally, glue the roof tabs into place.
Key Benefits:
- Encourages Creativity: Personalizing each gingerbread house allows kids to express their imagination.
- Develops Fine Motor Skills: Cutting, folding, and gluing strengthen motor coordination and precision.
- Hands-On Holiday Fun: Perfect for creating a festive decoration or a memorable holiday keepsake.

Printables FAQ
Printables FAQ
CAN I PURCHASE PRINTABLE ITEMS using MY iPAD or iPHONE? Yes! You can make purchases from your favorite tablet or other device. However, be sure to open the product emails using your PC or MAC computer - the majority of the files arrive as "ZIP" files containing the printables and will not always open correctly using your iPhone or iPad or other tablet device.
WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF PAPER TO USE? For worksheets, coloring pages, or any other type of printable that you are not using more than once, regular printer paper will work great! We recommend using Cardstock or High Gloss Photo Paper for best results on printables that will have more than one use, for example flashcards and readers.
WHAT ARE MY PRINTING OPTIONS? You can either use your own color ink-jet printer or print out at a local print shop (Staples, Kinkos, etc.)
SHOULD I PRINT MYSELF OR SEND THEM TO A PRINT SHOP? You can do either. I would try your personal printer first and if you are not getting a quality image, I may consider taking it to a commercial print shop.
CAN YOU PRINT MORE THAN ONE TIME? Yes! If you save your pdf file, you can print as many times as you would like!
DO I NEED TO BUY ANY SOFTWARE? No. ADOBE ACROBAT READER is the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all PDF documents. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free download. You will need this download to use the editable version of our printables.
