Christmas - Gingerbread Houses


Christmas is long gone and I have still not posted the pictures and posts from what all we did during Christmas. We had a wonderful time with friends and family. We usually have friends over to our place just a few days before Christmas and we have good food and company. All of our friends have little ones and to keep them busy, I have to come up with something.


This year I wanted to have gingerbread houses for them to decorate and then take home their decorated gingerbread houses. I shopped around in the stores for nice, but not too expensive gingerbread houses, but was not pleased with what I saw. So I thought I will make my own gingerbread house for the kids to decorate.
While browsing through the internet, I found this simple step by step instructions which I followed and I was happy as to how quick and easy these were to make.
The kids had fun decorating their houses and the activity kept them busy for quiet some time..
Here are some of the pictures of the gingerbread houses all ready to be decorated.




And here are some of the pictures of the gingerbread houses which the kids decorated

    What a great & easy activity! I've always wanted to do a gingerbread house, but the kits are so expensive. I'm sure these are yummy as well!
