Snowy Christmas Village Art Project

This snowy day Christmas village art project is so much fun! I love the contrast of the deep blue paper against the brown, gingerbread style houses most of all.

Plus, being a gingerbread village, this project has a great tie in with literacy learning!

And I love that, even with just a few, simple craft materials and art processes, each child’s Christmas village will look so completely different from the one next to it.

You can add a simple small rectangle for a chimney on some of the houses as well.

Use the end of another, dry paintbrush to tap against the paint-loaded brush. Keep tapping one brush against the other, all across the paper.
