This chalet style gingerbread house uses licorice for a fence and large gumdrops for the walkway edges. They have lined the roof with smaller gumdrops and used fake snow around the base of the house. The hole was left in the front to add a nice detail. These can be cut out with cookie cutters before baking.
Take a serving tray with separation and add things like buttons,small twigs,ribbons,sequins and other small findings. Have the circles cut out before you begin – as well as the hats. When you are ready bring your little ones to the table and let them design snowman’s – and it really does not cost much. Felt of the circles can be bought for $.25 cents each and twigs are free. Other findings you probably have in your craft storage.
For those of you still in cold weather you have to find some fun in the weather you are having and I hope this finds you with a new smile.
