I wanted to do a fun activity for the kids this week. These gingerbread houses jumped into my shopping cart! I found this gingerbread village kit at my local supermarket, for $10.99. Not too bad, considering there are multiple houses in the box. I have six children, as you know. Brandon, my youngest, is fifteen months old, so he won't be decorating any this year. That leaves five more children, that will be decorating. It just so happens, that the kit has five little houses! How cool is that?!
Here is a view of the back of the box, and what's included. It's pretty well supplied, however, I did add smarties, candy canes, and an extra bag of icing.
They are starting to get to work! I also tried to video this experience, but it was a no go. I'm glad I can share it here!
My oldest, Raven, decided to join in the fun. Aside from a little shenanigans at the table, I think everyone had a good time.
I know she did! Sophie is very proud of her chalet.
Here they are, in all of their sugary glory! To keep mess to a minimum, I covered the table with newsprint. I buy it in a huge roll at our local news paper's office. It only costs about $10, and it lasts the whole year!
These cute houses look good enough to eat. I should've gotten a shot of the village about four hours later. Two of them had been devoured by hungry kids.
