This was the completed masterpiece made my myself and my eldest (4yrs).
We bought a kit from the supermarket that included the ingredients to make the gingerbread and cardboard templates for the house.
We made up the mixture and baked the gingerbread. When it was baked (smelt soo yummy!)
we used the templates to cut out the house structure. It was alittle tricky to get to stick together with the royal icing but we found alittle extra is ok as it can be disguised as snow anyway :)
Doing this kept A's attention for ages and it was lovely to spent quality time, working together.
She loved decorating the house and we made the trees from some leftover gingerbread from the house template. Getting them to stay upright was even trickier!!
This house was admired for many days before we finally reluctantly dismantled it. Eating the yummy Gingerbread numbed the pain though :)
