Gingerbread House in a Snow Drift with Puffy Chimney Cap

A small gingerbread house sits in a drift of snow, with thick scalloped icing along the roof edges and a round window high in the front gable. The chimney on the right has a puffy snow cap on top. Below, the house has a square window with four panes and a plain door with a round knob. Two candy canes lean together by the door, tucked in front of holly leaves and berries. On the left, two round lollipops stand on sticks, with small rounded gumdrop shapes along the ground. This page is a nice pick for a holiday afternoon. Try coloring the roof icing white or pale blue, then use bright stripes on the candy canes and a different color for each lollipop. Younger kids can practice staying inside the bigger shapes like the door and gable, while older ones can add patterns to the walls.
