Whether you’re planning a crafting session, holiday party, or cozy family activity, these templates provide the perfect starting point for festive fun. With designs ranging from simple outlines to intricate details, there’s something here for every skill level and age.
One of the best ways to use these templates is as a guide for designing your dream gingerbread house. Kids can color in the templates with crayons, markers, or glitter to decorate their “gingerbread” masterpiece.
For an added challenge, they can design their house on paper first, then use it as inspiration to decorate a real gingerbread house with icing, candy, and sprinkles. It’s a fantastic way to combine creativity with hands-on holiday fun!
These templates can also be used for crafting activities. Print them out on sturdy paper or cardstock, and let kids cut out and assemble their own paper gingerbread houses.
They can personalize each house with stickers, cotton balls for snow, or even mini pom-poms for Christmas lights. Once completed, these adorable paper houses make great decorations for the tree, windows, or holiday tablescapes.
For an educational twist, use the templates as part of a math or storytelling activity.
Younger children can practice shapes and patterns by decorating their house with symmetrical designs, while older kids can write a holiday story about the family or characters living inside their gingerbread home.
These versatile templates aren’t just fun—they also encourage learning, imagination, and family bonding during the most wonderful time of the year!
