Make a Paper Gingerbread House


You can make a gingerbread house just like Gingerbread Jan and her family.  You don't even have to be a baker because this gingerbread house is made out of paper!


Materials:
  • brown origami paper (you can also use brown construction paper or a brown paper grocery bag cut into a square)
  • markers, crayons, glitter, paint, stickers
Procedures:
  1. Follow the paper folding instructions here: http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-house.html
  2. Use your markers, crayons, and other materials to decorate your gingerbread house.  You can make your house look like Gingerbread Jan's, or you can make your own designs.
  3. (Optional) Make your gingerbread house into a Christmas ornament!  Just punch a hole into the top of your house and thread a piece of string or ribbon through the hole.  Then tie the two ends of the string together.  Now you can decorate your tree with a festive little gingerbread house.
