Make a gingerbread house using graham crackers, candy, and frosting
Building a gingerbread house out of graham crackers, candy, and frosting is such a fun activity! Start by getting yourself all of the colorful candy you need to decorate your house – chocolate chips, M&M’s, Skittles, whatever looks best to you! Next, stack the graham crackers together in a creative formation to create the walls of the house. Finally, stick everything together with some delicious frosting and top it off with more sweet treats; edible glitter is always a nice touch. Your very own personalized gingerbread house is sure to make you smile – it’s almost too cute to eat!
