Littles Learning Link Up: Fun, Festive, and Delightful Gingerbread House Round Up


Welcome to Littles Learning Link Up. Each month you will find:
  • A seasonal round-up (usually toward the beginning of the month)
  • Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme.  Feel free to link up more than one post.

Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up. 

I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.

It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.

It's time for this month's Round Up

Last month I shared a round up for National Gingerbread Cookie Day, which was on November 21st. Did you know there is also a National Gingerbread House Day? Yep. Found that out a few months ago. In case you also were clueless, this national day is next week, December 12th, to be exact. 

Do you like to make gingerbread houses with your children? Did you ever make one growing up? It has become a tradition in our house to make one closer to Christmas. However, know that I know there is an actual date set aside, we will start making ours on that day. Perhaps, like my children, you aren't a huge fan of the taste of gingerbread. That's okay! That's what gingerbread house CRAFTS are for. And yes, a couple of years ago, the children and I made some cute gingerbread houses. 

So, whichever person you are, Team Gingerbreadisyummy or Team Gingerbreadisyucky, I'd love to invite you to check out this fun round up of Gingerbread House ideas.

What have we been up to?

We magically made it home from Mexico for the Thanksgiving holiday (yes, I forgot to have us fly home, and the children reminded me of that yesterday). We took a week off of school, preparing for Thanksgiving. We made a Turkey pinata to combine our study on Mexico and Thanksgiving. I hope to share our Mexico lessons soon, and that will include the turkey pinata. We are now off to Canada for the next two weeks.

Today I would like to share a craft we did several weeks ago when we were doing our Christmas Comes to America unit study. When we learned about traditions in Germany, we learned about the origin of the Gingerbread House. Because our study took place in October, there were no Gingerbread House kits in the stores yet, so I decided we would make a paper gingerbread house that we would hang up once December arrived.

Gingerbread House Craft


You will need:

Brown construction paper
Large piece of white construction paper, or two papers taped together
White construction paper for: triangle snow, circles, candy canes
Green construction paper for 3 sizes of triangles
Various colors of construction paper for gum drops
Glue
Glue stick
Pencil
Scissors
Red and White crayons

I used a ruler to draw a house shape onto the brown construction paper. The sides of the house are 1 inch from the edge.



The children started by cutting out their houses.


Then they glued the houses on to the white paper:



The white triangles were made by tracing the roof. This was used to make snow for the roof. I had the children use a pencil to make the snow in the shape they wanted it.


They used the different items to decorate their houses. They drew red lines onto the candy canes.


And I showed them how to make peppermints.



Tabitha decided she wanted some icicles.


And Amelia and Hannah decided they wanted to add some gingerbread people. They just drew them on.




We added snow to the windowsills with the white crayon.




I love how they are all unique.



Something I would like to share with you:
