GINGERBREAD HOUSE WORKSHOP

Building a gingerbread house from scratch gives kids more to do than just decorate—they get to build, problem-solve, make choices, and create something that feels completely their own. It takes a little more effort than opening the same boxed kit, but that extra creativity and teamwork is what makes the memory stick.

GATHER YOUR SWEETS

Grab graham crackers, thick icing, and a mix of candies, sprinkles, cereal, pretzels, marshmallows, licorice, cookies, or anything else you want to build with.

CUT & BUILD

With a grown-up handling the knife, cut your graham crackers into simple house pieces. Pipe thick icing along the edges, then build the walls and add the roof.

DECORATE AWAY

Let your house sit until it feels sturdy, then go wild. Add a snowy roof, candy walkway, cereal shingles, pretzel fence, or whatever your family dreams up.

WHAT'S ON OUR CANDY TABLE

You don’t need anything fancy. Pull out a mix of sweets and pantry odds and ends, pour them into little bowls, and let everyone build their own sugary masterpiece.

CANDY

Gumdrops, peppermints, mini candy canes, sprinkles, licorice—anything colorful is fair game.

COCONUT FLAKES

Mini marshmallows make easy snowbanks, roof trim, or even a tiny snowman beside the house.

CEREAL

Pretzel sticks can become fences or walkways, while cereal pieces make great shingles, bricks, and paths.

ICING

Use extra icing for icicles and drifts. Coconut flakes or white chocolate shavings make easy snowy finishing touches.
