Gingerbread House with Crossed Candy Canes over the Door

A little gingerbread house sits front and center, with a roof made of big round gumdrops stacked in overlapping rows. The pointed gable over the arched front door has two candy canes crossed near the top, a small candy decoration above them, and icing drips along the edges. A swirled peppermint candy fills the upper part of the door, and a small round knob sits on the right. Smaller gumdrops flank the doorway and line the path, and two tall lollipops stand on gumdrop bases on either side. The side wings each have a simple window. The sugar-dotted texture on the gumdrops is fun to fill in with crayons or colored pencils. Try giving the peppermint swirl two alternating colors, then pick a different color for each roof gumdrop so the whole roof looks like a candy mosaic. This free printable also works well for a holiday table activity.
