Gingerbread houses are an iconic piece this time of year and with Christmas fast approaching, I’m sure you are looking for some fun & festive kid activities to do this holiday season.

Well skip the mess of the traditional and go with a Paper Plate Gingerbread House Kid Craft instead! It’s sure to be just as sweet BUT less messy and lasts longer too! Best part? Just like real deal, this craft can be customized however your child wants. From adding sparkles to changing out the colors – kids imagine it and the festive craft comes to life before their eyes!

So quick – “bake” up this awesome craft with your child today and display it proudly for everyone to see! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Pink Tissue Paper
* Brown Cardstock
* School Glue
* Glitter Glue
* Stapler
* Scissors
* Rhinestones, Pom Poms, Glitter

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and the other for a rainy day!
* Cut a large brown square out of your brown cardstock. Staple it to your paper plate half to resemble a house.
* Now grab your pink tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
* Have children glue down the tissue paper to the “roaf” of the gingerbread house.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Gingerbread House – have children add other embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc. to really give it life! Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

As an added bonus to today’s post – you can also do this same concept with popsicle sticks! Instead of the brown cardstock for the botton, replace with a popsicle stick fence instead!
