I love when a project turns out even better than I had planned. My kids loved using different items around the house to make our very own Gingerbread House Village out of recycled cardboard and a variety of craft items.

Today we go from this
to this
to a Gingerbread House Village
WHAT YOU NEED
cardboard
tempera paint
white glue
decorating materials (pieces of tinfoil, buttons
HOW TO MAKE
Set up the materials in a variety of containers. Sort the decorating materials into separate containers.
Cut cardboard boxes into house shapes. If you use the sides of a cardboard box you can cut the top flap into a triangle shape and leave the rest as a rectangle.
Paint
Glue the decorations on the houses. We did this while the paint was still wet and it worked out fine. Once finished lay the houses flat to dry.
Once dry I placed our gingerbread houses against our windows. Voîla!
