Gingerbread Houses... Anyone make them?

[Bit]

I put this here because it's more of a craft than a food, but does anyone make them? I thought it would be fun and this will be our first time making them.

I found this link that's pretty detailed for a small easy house, but thought maybe someone else knew of something more tried and true.

I've never made one before, but they looks yummy. I know you can get kits around here in some of the stores. You make sure and take step by step pics when you do make it!

When the girls were in Girl Scout, we made them with graham crackers. It worked out fine and made a small house.

Every year we buy a kit from Micheals. The kids love decorating them. Last year Erik made some in school. I thought it was really clever how they did them. They cut the bottom off a orange juice carton and then stuck graham crackers on with frosting.

We buy a kit every year, then one night before Christmas we decorate it, we always have alot of fun.

We make one every year by Kit. Fun and messy. LOL

It sounds like the kit is the way to go! And after we get it done, we might make some small ones out of grahm crackers to eat. Thanks so much for the help!

We made one at my mom's house last year from the kit. It's nice because the cookies are already baked. :) Then we bought extra candy for more decoration.
