We tried our hands at a gingerbread house this year. Each kid got a different side to express themselves.
Moose had the front. I thought it turned out well, but he was frustrated trying to achieve his vision.
BiggiE spent his time rolling up candies in fondant and then afixing them to the house.
Jelly Bean looks like she was aiming to get a high concentration of candy in one area.
I think it will be fun to see how their ideas and skill morph as they get older. A friend of mine shared delicious homemade gingerbread houses with Jelly Beans school, so if I am feeling ambitious I might get the recipe from her and try it all from scratch.
