Build Your Own Gingerbread House Pieces Sheet

A sheet of separate gingerbread house pieces is laid out in rows. Across the top are two long twisted candy sticks. Below them is a plain door with chevron icing stripes, a round knob, and a flat candy step. Next is an arched door with six panels, each labeled "chocolate," and a fan-shaped window above. A pair of shuttered windows is filled with oval jelly candies and has small pinwheel shapes at the top. On the right stands a striped candy post with a crown-like top. The bottom row shows a square of round candies and swirl mints, two lollipops (one with a bear face) crossed over gumdrops, and a stack of ring cookies with wavy icing. Two leaf-shaped candies and two peppermints sit in the corner. Try coloring each jelly candy a different color, then cut out the pieces and arrange them into a house on construction paper. Printing it is free, so extra copies are easy to make for a group.
