How to build a walk in gingerbread house for kids from a Fort Magic kit! Fun ideas and inspiration to make your own Christmas fort.
The kids are excited that we have a walk in gingerbread house in our living room.
They made it in an evening from our Fort Magic kit—I’ll include a fun video below—and then we decorated it together with fabric, felt candies, lights, and tulle ribbon icing. I think Daphne and her friend Emily, the two 7-year-olds, were ready to move in at the end of the evening.
I’ll show you the details, but first, I wanted to say thank you to Fort Magic for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.
We’ve made so many different forts and structures with our Fort Magic kit over the years and I’ve shared some of them here on The Artful Parent. I know that many of you have since purchased a Fort Magic kit for yourself your kids.
If you have one, you can follow along and make a walk-in gingerbread house yourself. And if you don’t, I’ll give you the details about where to buy this seriously awesome open-ended fort kit, as well as a chance to win one for yourself your kids.
How to Build A Walk In Gingerbread House from a Fort Kit
MATERIALS
- 1 Fort Magic Kit (we actually used less than 1/2 of the kit pieces)
- 5 yards tan or brown fabric (I bought tan flannel that was on sale for half-off)
- A white flannel sheet
- Christmas lights
- A roll of red tulle or other ribbon
- 1/2 yard each of red and green felt
- White felt (optional)
- Glue gun
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Build a basic house with the fort kit
The kids followed the instructions for the Playhouse in the idea booklet that came with the kit.
Here’s a fun (speeded up) video of the house being built by the kids. Maia got it started. When Daphne and Emily came home from school they joined in, then took over when Maia left for gymnastics.
Step 2: Cover the Gingerbread House
Next, wrap the tan fabric around the outside walls of the house, clipping them into place with the fabric clips. These are your gingerbread walls!
Drape the white sheet over the roof for the icing covered roof, clipping it into place.
Now it’s time to decorate your gingerbread house!
Step 3: Decorate your walk in gingerbread house
Clip a string of Christmas lights around the roof line. These provide beautiful light and can also double as little candies.
Cut candy shapes from your felt. We had a few candy canes and Christmas corn but mostly cut out circle candies that would work as gumdrops, M&Ms, lollipops, etc. With the extra scraps, we made sprinkles.
The felt candies will stick to the sloped flannel roof by themselves, so start there.
I thought they would stick to the walls of the house, too, like a flannel board or felt board, and they sort of did, but also many of them eventually fell off the walls. So… For the candies on the sides of the house, I added a dab of glue from the hot glue gun to the center of each candy one at a time, and stuck them to the walls.
If you like, string tulle ribbon along the edges of the fort for a line of decorative icing. I didn’t have to clip this in place but rather just wrapped it around the connector pieces at the corners.
Step 4: Make a Felt Wreath
(Optional, but a nice addition.)
To make the felt wreath, cut of a circle of green felt a bit larger than the circle window at the front of the gingerbread house. Clip it in place at the top and do any trimming needed. Use the clips to wrap the felt around the outside of the pipe structure and hold it in place.
Cut the center of your wreath out.
Now, cut out a ribbon from the red felt. I drew one first with a Sharpie marker which made it easier. Affix it to the wreath with a dab from the glue gun.
Step 5: Decorate Some More
Add any other decorations you feel your gingerbread house needs.
- A candy floor?
- Real candy taped to the walls? (Daphne raided her Halloween stash for this idea)
- Pillows? (the kids made these with paper, staples, and pompoms)
- A sign?
- A rug or furniture?
- Gingerbread boys and girls?
- A mini Christmas tree?
- Candy canes?
Now you have a walk in gingerbread house to play in for the rest of the holiday season!
Besides acting out any pretend play scenarios, this is a good place to read Christmas books, play Candy Land, wrap gifts, listen to music, take naps, hide…
If you have a Fort Magic kit already, give this walk-in gingerbread house a try!
If you don’t, but want one, you can buy a kit on Amazon or from the Fort Magic shop. They are not cheap but they are worth every penny. This is a sturdy, well-made fort kit that can be used many, many different ways, inside and out. It will last for years and grow with your kids. I recommend them to all my friends. Obviously I’m a big fan.

Vanessa
December 5, 2016 at 9:38 amMy kindergarten class would love this so much! They’d enjoy making all the different designs, and many more of their own. I particularly love the tower and tunnel fort from the website.
Sarah M
December 5, 2016 at 9:52 amMy kids would immediately build a doghouse for not only our dog, but for them! ;)
Betsy
December 5, 2016 at 9:59 amOh wow. Our five kiddos would love this. We’d start with an art museum to display things made in our art center!
Karissa
December 5, 2016 at 10:02 amI think first order of business would have to be a rocket ship! :D
Stacy
December 5, 2016 at 10:10 amThis is awesome! I can see my boys building all kinds of forts and hideaways with this! Space ships, grocery stores, schools, doctor’s offices! So many things! Fingers crossed we win!!
Heather
December 5, 2016 at 10:15 amI think my daughter would build an animal hospital
Laura F.
December 5, 2016 at 11:28 amMy boys would love this! They love building tents out of furniture but this would be taking it to a different level.
Joei Tyra
December 5, 2016 at 11:32 amThus is SUCH a great idea! I hope we win because this would be so much fun to put up this Christmas!
Nicole
December 5, 2016 at 11:45 amI’ve had my eye on this! I think my kids would have lots of different ideas but in the end I bet it would get used as a little library the most.
Teresa Halfacre
December 5, 2016 at 11:52 amWhat a sweet house! We would love to have this for use in our small condo. I love how modular and creative it is!
Kelli
December 5, 2016 at 12:05 pmMy daughter would love to build the race car!
Liz
December 5, 2016 at 12:46 pmMy family did something like this with PVC pipes when I was little… so fun! Would love to add one to our home.
Rachel
December 5, 2016 at 2:02 pmOh wow – I think my littlest colleagues would try all of the builds (river boat and paddle??) though it will likely be used as a reading hut in any form. :). Thank you for the chance to win one! Saw it used as a “stained glass” painting house on their FB page. My summer art group would definitely have to try that out!
Allegra
December 5, 2016 at 2:02 pmWe’d build the castle for sure, and sleep over tents!
gillian
December 5, 2016 at 2:48 pmWe are crossing our fingers! I’m sure the first thing my girls would want to build is a playhouse! :-)
Karen
December 5, 2016 at 4:15 pmWe would definitely start with this submarine. So, so fun!
reeree
December 5, 2016 at 5:03 pmThis is awesome. Forget about the kids- I think this has me drooling!
We would have a blast with all outdoor ideas such as tents, tepees, canoe. Maybe even try a pretend treehouse! Thanks for this opportunity.
Marisa maloney
December 5, 2016 at 6:23 pmI would build a rocket for my three kids
Sarah S
December 5, 2016 at 6:45 pmThis gingerbread house is to die for! We have our own “Elf Shop” going right now with some chairs and sheets and lights. I think the playhouse or a castle would be our first build with Fort Magic!
Sarah
December 5, 2016 at 6:49 pmOh how fun!
Rolinda M
December 5, 2016 at 6:58 pmthis would be a huge blessing if we won, but our four little girls would want to make a castle.
Christine
December 5, 2016 at 7:15 pmWe love the tower and tunnels. I would think (hope) after building a few things following the ideas, that the kids would start understanding the construction and begin to design their own play structures. That would be great to see them work together and problem solve!
malk
December 5, 2016 at 8:06 pmWe would try everything they show and then try to make up some ideas of our own. The standard tents look so cozy to read in!
allis
December 5, 2016 at 8:10 pmmy son would sooooooo love that! especially making a gingerbread house!!
Alaa P..
December 5, 2016 at 8:56 pmThis looks like such a neat toy! I think my kids would love to build and climb in the tower and tunnels! Thank you so much for the chance to win. Your gingerbread house turned out so adorable!

Kate
December 5, 2016 at 9:04 pmLove, love, love!!!
Eva Maria
December 6, 2016 at 12:11 amWe have tried other Fort building kits, but this looks amazing! Our boys are into trains, so my guess is the first thing we’d attempt is a train station or a train shed!!!
carol clark
December 6, 2016 at 3:08 ammy son would to build a race car or trains station
Bethany Isabell
December 6, 2016 at 4:26 amMe and my 4 and 5 year old just stumbled upon some wooden teepees out in the woods today. So I think we might start with the teepee design. My five year old son who can’t move on to the next thing fast enough would probably quickly design the race car. Then while he is at school, my daughter would want to build the airplane because she loves pretending to be a bird soaring around. Fort Magic looks so fun!!
Linda
December 6, 2016 at 4:40 amI think we would go with a log cabin in the woods.
April
December 6, 2016 at 6:54 amMy son would first build a reading fort, but when his friends come over it would turn into a Nerf fort!
Heather Young
December 6, 2016 at 10:56 amThis is awesome! I would definitely want to build the tower and tunnels structure for my kid; he’d love it!

Nina

Heather McReynolds
December 6, 2016 at 2:56 pmForts are the best! We’d build a new fort every month or so. This is amazing!
Christina Spencer
December 6, 2016 at 3:04 pmMy girls would love this! We would build ones to go along with each holiday and books we are reading!
Vanessa
December 6, 2016 at 3:24 pmMy kids and I would probably build a lion house. To keep all our stuffed lions in.
Jaclyn
December 6, 2016 at 4:16 pmMy daughter would definitely make a space ship. She loves space and is always building rockets out of blocks. She’d love this set!

Heather Neish
December 6, 2016 at 6:07 pmMy twins would love this! But I think there will be stiff competition between the airplane (my son’s choice) or the sleepover tents (my daughter loves camping).
Amber
December 6, 2016 at 7:28 pmI would love to win this!!!! My daughter would be all over making a pirate ship or princess castle!!!
Jen Banker

Valerie C
December 6, 2016 at 9:29 pmWe would build a Mars rover!!

December 6, 2016 at 9:34 pmWe’d probably start by making a house, basic I know, but a great place to hideaway.

Jeanine
December 7, 2016 at 8:13 pmOk thanks again Jean for always sharing the magic you and your family create with the Fort Magic kits! I would say we’d build the tee pee fishing pole and small boat –my 7 year old is beginning to wonder about her heritage which is part Native Indian! It would be so cool for her to have that full experience! Also, if we won I think I’d build a wee Igloo and have it set up for Christmas morning!!! Merry Christmas Jean and Girls
Angela
December 7, 2016 at 8:20 pmWe would just enjoy making forts.
Suzie

Runa Bianchi
December 7, 2016 at 11:16 pmI, I mean we would definitely build a submarine. My Star Wars fan saw that someone had built a Death Star and a tie-fighter with their Fort Magic kit so we would definitely have to try those as well!!
Karen Begley
December 7, 2016 at 11:33 pmWe would love to build tents and a canoe! We usually pretend to canoe on the bed… but my kids would love something that is a bit more accurate : )
Jennifer Curtis
December 8, 2016 at 12:20 amMy daughter would love to build the playhouse and my son would love to build the car. I look forward to seeing what ideas the kids would come up with too. Building forts out of blankets and pillows was one of my favorite things to do as a kid. I hope my kids will have fond memories of their creations too.
Jessica
December 8, 2016 at 1:25 amWe would build the Villa! Plus try to build an RV or trailer for camping!
Marty
December 8, 2016 at 11:12 amThis is so cool! I think the first thing my family would build would be a “pup house” as the kiddos are huge PAW Patrol fans and like to role-play the characters.
Kaci
December 8, 2016 at 11:32 pmVery creative! Love the gingerbread house. What fun it must have been to watch it evolve and think of the possibilities. Fort Magic would make a really fun gift for my four little boys. Thank you for the chance to win.

December 12, 2016 at 6:29 pmLooks like so much fun!
Danielle
December 12, 2016 at 6:36 pmWe would love to win this! How fun!! My boys and I would build a firehouse.
Melissa
December 12, 2016 at 6:58 pmI’d build a submarine! We love the ocean creatures.
megan
December 12, 2016 at 7:20 pmI would build a submarine :)
Emily
December 12, 2016 at 7:26 pmI think a rocket ship!
Laura marx
December 12, 2016 at 7:47 pmMy daughter would love to build the castle!
Laura
December 12, 2016 at 7:53 pmWe’d love to build the tower and tunnels!!!

December 12, 2016 at 7:57 pmWe are BIG fort builder in our house– spaceships, caves, igloos. But up until now we have just been really creative with blankets, pillows and chairs.
Peggi
December 12, 2016 at 8:05 pmI would try the Eiffel Tower and other famous buildings with my class of pre-kiddies. This would be perfect for our building unit! Thanks!
Helen
December 12, 2016 at 8:30 pmI would build an obstacle course with the Fort Magic, but it seems the options are endless (food truck, grocery store, castle, comic book shop, etc). How wonderful and fun!
Zoe
December 12, 2016 at 8:33 pmBuilding forts sound fun! We would love to build the car and tower.
Ashley
December 12, 2016 at 8:34 pmMy daughter and I would definitely build a castle! She would be so excited!
Siarra powers
December 12, 2016 at 8:41 pmLove it!
ShonaK
December 12, 2016 at 8:42 pmWe would definitely start with the fort and tunnels! We love pretending to be in caves and always have a back exit. This one is perfect for us to be bats, dragons, and so much more! Love this!
Neile King
December 12, 2016 at 8:44 pmThe tower and tunnels plan is my favorite, but I suspect the most fun would be to see what the kids make on their own. My two get along best when making couch cushion forts, but it’s also nice that this set is big enough to be divided into two forts for when the kids need time alone!
Angela Howe
December 12, 2016 at 8:44 pmWe would act out all the things we’re learning in history. How fun to make castles and forts and tents.
Emily
December 12, 2016 at 9:04 pmOh my kiddos would have hours of fun with this! My guess is a princess castle, or perhaps a fire station although they’d probably suprise me with something totally off my radar:)
Emily
December 12, 2016 at 9:06 pmMy kiddos would be lost in this for hours, so fun! Princess castle or fire station? The possibilities are endless….
Emily
December 12, 2016 at 9:07 pmOh such fun! A castle or fire station??
Bo
December 12, 2016 at 9:10 pmWe would build a tunnel and definitely a rocket.
Laura Bailey
December 12, 2016 at 9:11 pmLove this! My 4 year old’s class is learning about space and she has been asking to build a rocket ship so that would be our first build!
Brian
December 12, 2016 at 9:12 pmHow awesome….we would build a tent and probably so many other cool options.
Mindy
December 12, 2016 at 9:22 pmI think the teepee looked interesting, but my kid would like the castle.
Emily
December 12, 2016 at 9:56 pmMy kiddos would spend hours with this! My thoughts are they may create a castle or a fire station perhaps…but in reality it will likely be something amazing I cannot even predict!
Christine
December 12, 2016 at 10:09 pmMy kids would love to build castles
Jessica
December 12, 2016 at 10:30 pmMy son would be obsessed with this! He would build hideouts for his super heroes, train stations and so much more. He’s just the right age to get many years of play out of a toy like this!
Michelle Wong
December 12, 2016 at 10:39 pmWe’d build Thunderbird 3 and a racing car base!
Tifara
December 12, 2016 at 10:40 pmTotally awesome! We love building tents on rainy days! This would be incredible to build trucks too!
Faith
December 12, 2016 at 10:52 pmA ship, a train, a castle!!! I think it’d be easier to say what we wouldn’t build. Love, love, love!
Janet
December 12, 2016 at 10:57 pmA Christmas tree and then a ship! Would love to create wonder-ful experiences for our 14-month old son using this. Thank you!!
Jennifer Vecoli
December 12, 2016 at 10:57 pmMy oldest would build the playhouse, and my youngest would love the sleepover tent. Hope to win this to enjoy with my girls! :)
Kate
December 12, 2016 at 10:59 pmA rocket for sure!
Catharine
December 12, 2016 at 11:05 pmThe horse and carriage! My daughters would love it!
Miss Cousins
December 12, 2016 at 11:32 pmThe possibilities would be endless but a castle and a teepee would be top priority! Fingers crossed!
Kay Dee
December 12, 2016 at 11:36 pmI’m pretty sure my kids would make a time machine…with a very interesting destination awaiting their arrival :)
This is so neat!
Alison
December 12, 2016 at 11:40 pmMaybe a tunnel for an obstacle course. Maybe a secret garden..
Denelle
December 13, 2016 at 10:52 amWe would build many many things! A stable for a horse crazy girl! A vegetable and ice cream stand (everyone needs ice cream when they shop for vegetables, right?). A castle with a moat.
Jesse foss
December 13, 2016 at 6:56 pmDefinitely a gingerbread house for my obsessed five year old! Then a cave for the bear obsessed four year old!
