Build Your Dream Home In Less Than An Hour!
Okay, so what's better than a house that you can build with your kids, admire for a few days...then eat!? I can't think of anything better than that!
Below are directions for a Simple Gingerbread House that you can build with your little ones. I found this one on http://www.familyeducation.com/ posted by Amy McMahon.
Craig and I have four children under the age of nine and I love doing crafts with them. Unfortunately if the craft takes long, I end up losing one or more of them to something "more interesting". This craft is right up my alley! It's fast, simple and the kids love it!

Have some fun building your own gingerbread house. The house may only last a few days, but the memories you make with your children will last a life-time!
If you send us a picture of your masterpiece and we will post it on this site next Saturday! Your kids will love to see their creation on-line, and you will be the hero mom that made it happen. :-)

Materials needed:- 8-10 graham crackers
- Empty Milk Carton (school size)
- Styrofoam meat tray
- Colorful hard candies to decorate
- Tube Frosting with Varied Tips
- White Frosting
What to do:
- Place the milk carton on the Styrofoam tray. Spread the white frosting on the outside of the milk carton.
- Arrange four graham crackers on the outside of the milk carton. These will be the walls of the house. Add frosting as needed to make them stick.
- Place one graham cracker on the top of your gingerbread house. This will be the base of the roof. "Glue" it on with frosting.
- To make a pointed roof, lean two graham cracker on the roof's base. Secure them with more frosting.
- Decorate the house. The white frosting looks like snow, so it's fun to spread some on the roof and around the outside of the house. Use the tube frosting to make fancy trim, windows or doorways. Use small candies for trimming and decorations.
From our family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas
&
A Happy New Year!
