Make Memories with This Thumbprint Gingerbread House Ornament Craft for Kids
To recreate this art project, all you need to do is print out the provided “gingerbread house” file on kraft cardstock paper. This will mimic the “gingerbread” walls. Go ahead and trim it out from the paper. Discard excess paper.
Now for the fun part – DECORATING it! Start off making fingerprint “candies” along the rooftop in the house design. Follow that up by adding on windows, stickers etc. Finally, add a single hole punch at the top and string some string through it, for easy hanging on the tree.
And that’s it! It’s honestly doesn’t get any easier than this! This thumbprint gingerbread house craft can happen within minutes and I sure hope you give this a try this back to school season!
