Each house prints on a single A4 page as one flat net — four decorated walls, two lattice roof panels, a base and clearly labelled glue tabs — so there's nothing to match up across pages. Students colour the walls flat, cut around the outline, fold on the dotted lines and glue the tabs, and a little house stands up on the desk in front of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery house is a different shopfront with its own character peering out: the \u003cstrong\u003eBakery\u003c\/strong\u003e with a gingerbread chef and a window full of biscuits, the \u003cstrong\u003eSweet Shop\u003c\/strong\u003e with lolly jars and a gingerbread girl juggling candies, the \u003cstrong\u003eReindeer Stable\u003c\/strong\u003e with two reindeer looking over their stable doors, the \u003cstrong\u003eElves' Toy Workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e with elves building a toy train, and \u003cstrong\u003eSanta's Cottage\u003c\/strong\u003e with Santa waving from the window and a sack of presents by the tree.
