Materials: 
In your kit:
  • Graham crackers
  • Royal Icing
  • Candy for decoration
What you'll need from home:
  • A knife or spoon 

​
Instructions:
  1. Construct walls: Set out the two cut rectangles and two square crackers for the walls. Pipe icing along the inside edges one tall triangle piece and one square piece. Stand the tall triangle cracker somewhere on your cardboard box. Stand one of the square crackers at a 90 degree angle, sticking the end of the outer edge into the icing. The two walls form the first corner and should prop up on their own. Continue with the other pieces. Make sure the two triangle pieces are opposite from each other and the same for the square pieces.

  2. Allow the icing to set up for a few minutes before applying the roof.

  3. Run a length of icing up and down the peak of the tall triangle walls, and add two of the square pieces to create the roof.

  4. Allow the icing to sit for a few minutes before decorating.

Casas de Pan de Jengibre
​ Projecto de Arte para llevar a casa

El Projecto de Arte para llevar a casa para esta semana será  ¡Casas de pan de Jengibre!  Hay dos kits disponibles, uno para niños y otro para adolescentes.  A continuación se muestran las instrucciones para las casas de pan de jengibre para niños.

Los adolescentes pueden usar cualquier material que se les proporcione para hacer una creación original de pan de jengibre. ¡No hay reglas!  No olvide enviar fotografías de sus creaciones a:  youthservices@basaltlibrary.org para participar en el concurso.  Las tres categorías son: Mejor Casa de Jengibre, Mejor Creación y Mejor Casa de Jengibre graciosa.
Materiales para llevar a casa:
  • Galletas Graham 
  • Glaseado Royal 
  • Dulces para decorar ​
Materiales que necesita:
  • Un cuchillo o espatula para moldear.
Procedimiento:
​
  1. Construye las paredes: Coloca los dos rectángulos cortados y las dos galletas cuadradas para las paredes.  Coloque el glaseado a lo largo de los bordes interiores, una pieza triangular alta y una pieza cuadrada.  Coloca la galleta triangular alta en algún lugar de tu caja de cartón.  Coloque una de las galletas cuadradas en un ángulo de 90 grados, pegando el extremo del borde exterior en el glaseado.  Las dos paredes forman la primera esquina y deben apoyarse solas.  Continúe con las otras piezas.  Asegúrate de que las dos piezas triangulares estén opuestas entre sí y que sean iguales para las piezas cuadradas.

  2.  Deje que la formación del glaseado se asiente durante unos minutos antes de aplicar al techo.

  3. Ejecute un tramo de glaseado hacia arriba y hacia abajo por la cima de las paredes triangulares altas y agregue dos de las piezas cuadradas para crear el techo. 

  4.  Deje reposar el glaseado durante unos minutos antes de decorar.
    ​
  5. Utilice los dulces proporcionados para decorar su casa de pan de Jengibre de la forma que elija. ¡No se coma todos los dulces!  :)
