Skip the mess of a traditional gingerbread house & try a brown paper bag version instead! It’s sure to be just as sweet BUT less messy!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Brown Paper Bags
  • White Puffy Paint
  • Loose Craft Sequins
  • School Glue
  • Stapler
  • Shredded Paper or Old Newspapers
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First fill your brown paper bag with a little bit of shredded paper on the bottom. This will help your piece stand up tall and have some weight to it.
  • Next fold down your paper bag to close and staple it to create a roof.
  • Now you are ready for the fun part – the embellishments! Grab your puffy paint and add “icing” on the paper bag to really give the look of a gingerbread house.
  • Top off with some sequins and any other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then set it ALL aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly! Remember – this is also a clever way to “snaz” up gifts you may be handing out this year too!!!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper bag gingerbread house creations with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
