Making gingerbread houses is SO.MUCH.FUN!!! Honestly, there's not a ton of prep...
*buy bulk candy at the grocery store, along with graham crackers and white icing (1 per child), marshmallows, chex cereal, and coconut.
*Foil-wrap cardboard.
*Add a "sawed-off" milk/o.j. carton to the foil-wrapped base, with tape.
*give everyone a butter knife to saw through the graham crackers to make them the size you need. They actually "saw" and "cut" rather easily without breaking!
Now these are some happy kids! I love living in a neighborhood that has lotsa kids! Hopefully, when they're all grown, they'll say to their own kids, "When I was little, there was this lady that lived down the street, and every year at Christmas time..."
