Gingerbread Houses in Clay

These "gingerbread" houses were created by my grade one students. We talked about the story of Hansel and Gretel and I asked the students to imagine their ultimate gingerbread house. 

After rolling out a clay slab, students added decorations with smaller pieces of clay and textured stamps. After firing these were painted in colours that would make them seem edible. We did these a while ago, but this would make a great Christmas project.
