Gingerbread House

Designed with standards for 6th grade
Perfect for grades 5-7

In this lesson, students will create gingerbread houses full of interactive surprises with opening and closing doors and windows.

This lesson includes two options for completion: introducing masking fluid with watercolor paint or a simpler oil pastel resist.

Either option will yield a bright and cheery result as students create their own custom symmetrical gingerbread house.

Students will explore the foundational elements of balance and texture while learning about architectural design.
