Gingerbread House Recipe

You will build the house on the paper plate. Start with walls of the house as if you were building a house of cards. The Graham crackers will be the walls. You might need to hold the crackers steady as your child glues them together with frosting. Frost three edges of each cracker. Place bottom of frosted cracker upright on plate. Let dry a bit. Then build an A frame roof (at an angle place two sides of Graham crackers together). Frost wall tops and ends of roof together to keep frame up. Hold and let dry. You can also make a flat roof.

At this point make a decision. Will you be frosting the whole house or just the roof? If you want to do the whole house I recommend you start with the sides. Using a thin rubber spatula gently frost the sides. Figure a doorway in front using shoestring licorice. Do the same for any windows you want. Place M&M's and/or Skittles all over wall siding. When done, frost the roof. Either use Starbursts for roof tiles or decorate the roof using M&M's, Skittles and tiny marshmallows. For a festive look put cake sprinkles on top. On a flat roof your child can stack up five Starbursts for a chimney. Or they can use a snack size candy bar on an A frame roof for a chimney. Once house is decorated to your child's satisfaction they can do the yard. Spread frosting nearby house. Stack up three marshmallows to make a snowman. Dab a bit of frosting in-between marshmallows to keep snowman up. Use sprinkles to make a face on snowperson. You can stack tiny marshmallows to make kid snowperson. Make a walkway to front door using Starbursts. Place gum drops all nearby house as a colorful fence.
