This month we built a play house.
We spent a morning painting it brown like gingerbread.
And the roof white like snowy frosting.
As soon as it was put together the children were in it, then out again.
The next day we painted candy stripes for decorations and used
our sticky lights around the edges.
The next day we added cupcake liners to the roof that looked like
candy decorations.
Toddler aged children are enjoying this play house the most.
Probably because of the size.
It’s a narrow box so not much room inside.
At the art table we have a hole punch shaped like a snowflake.
It’s a fairly easy punch for the children to use and they use it a lot.
So we made lots of snowflakes to hang from the eaves and
on the side of the house.
Our gingerbread playhouse is a welcoming sight in the middle of our room.
“Come in and play!”
