How to Make a Gingerbread House

Matt and I volunteered at Troy's school for the holiday party. When we arrived, we found out the kids were going to make gingerbread houses. Troy's teacher, Mrs. Kunkel, had thought of everything. She had us lay out different candies (lollies) and marshmallows on the table, a tub of icing and graham crackers. She then showed the kids a variety of gingerbread house pictures as examples so they could see how to decorate the roof, the sides, and even the yard outside. You could tell their creative juices were flowing! 



Kids started by covering an old small milk carton with graham crackers using icing as glue! They then used their imagination and put m&ms, tootsie rolls, candy canes, life savers, etc. all over their houses. A few candies made their way into their mouths which was all apart of the fun. We had a great time with them.
