Making a Gingerbread House for the Holidays
Making time for some fun activities with the kids when the holidays roll around can be a tough task. You can make the time spent together something your children will remember for many years to come. In fact, you just might start a family tradition that they can continue with their own kids.
A great family activity that can become a yearly event is making your own gingerbread house. If you are a baker, you can fill your home with the spicy scent of gingerbread in the oven while your children wait eagerly to decorate it with the bags of goodies you stocked up on.
Supplies You Will Need
For those who are not known for their baking skills, there are many already baked gingerbread houses available that are just waiting to be decorated. They come with a few embellishments, but you will have to supply the creativity and the sweets.
- Toll house chocolate morsels in holiday shapes and colors are a must
- Green and red spice drops for added zip
- Holiday themed M&Ms
- Sprinkles
- Vanilla and chocolate frosting
- Butter knives for spreading the frosting
- Newspaper to cover your work area
You can use your imagination and your own personal tastes to customize your gingerbread house.
