Build a Gingerbread Town Pop Up Crafts and Writing Activities

Your students will love building their own gingerbread town this holiday season with these pop up crafts and writing activities! These engaging activities will allow students to color, cut, and glue pieces to design their very own gingerbread town!

After printing the different backgrounds and gingerbread pieces pages on cardstock, students can design their towns. After they complete their gingerbread town, students can use the templates provided in this resource to plan and write about an imaginative gingerbread town, write facts about what is in their gingerbread town, write how to build a gingerbread town, or write about why someone should visit their gingerbread town.

There are two backgrounds and two pages of add on pieces. This resources also includes writing templates for writing an imaginative narrative, informative, or opinion writing. Writing templates are included with and without traceable sentence starters.

PLEASE NOTE: Gingerbread town pieces and backgrounds work best if printed on cardstock or construction paper for stability. Students can cut down any of the pieces needed to assemble their rooms to their liking. 

Students will need grade level appropriate fine motor/scissor skills for this activity, but pop up pieces have cut lines for ease of cutting.
