Cloud-Edged Roof Gingerbread House with Three Peppermint Swirls

A little gingerbread house sits front and center, topped with a peaked roof edged in big scalloped, cloud-like bumps of icing. A brick-style chimney with wavy lines leans against the left side of the roof. Three round peppermint swirls decorate the front wall, one large one above and two smaller ones below it. The arched door has a small square window and a round knob. Two candy canes with striped bands stand on each side of the door, and rounded gumdrop shapes line the bottom corners. The thick outlines and open spaces suit younger kids. Try coloring the peppermints in alternating red and white so the swirl pattern stands out, then count how many stripes each candy cane has.
