Build-a-Gingerbread House Science Center

Bring STEM and sensory play together in this festive classroom favorite! The Build-a-Gingerbread House Science Center invites preschoolers to explore structure, balance, and creativity as they design their own gingerbread “houses” using loose parts and magnetic tiles.

Perfect for winter and holiday themes, this activity transforms a simple sensory setup into a playful experiment in engineering and imagination. Add beans, bells, and gingerbread characters for a cozy hands-on experience that encourages curiosity, fine-motor skills, and problem-solving.

Printable signs are included to help you label and organize your science or sensory center.

✨ A sweet way to combine science, play, and the magic of the season.
