Get ready to unleash your inner architect and artist! We are hosting a Graham Cracker Gingerbread House building activity, and it promises to be a fun, creative, and educational event for everyone.
We will provide the essential building blocks:
🧱 Graham Crackers
🥣 Royal Icing (the "glue"!)
sturdy base plates
Your challenge is to transform these simple ingredients into a whimsical, stable, and unique "gingerbread" house!
🎨 What Should You Bring? 🍬
To help make your house truly spectacular, we need your help with the decorations! We are asking participants to bring in their favorite candies and treats to share for decorating their houses.
Here are some suggestions for items that work great for decorating:
Pretzels: Great for fences, log cabins, or roof shingles.
Mini Marshmallows: Perfect for snowdrifts, snowman parts, or roof accents.
Shredded Coconut: Excellent "snow" for the yard.
Hard Candies: Stained glass windows (crushed or whole) or walkway paving stones.
Colorful & Decorative Candies
M&Ms or Skittles: Classic, colorful shingles or pathway stones.
Gummy Bears or Gumdrops: Colorful landscaping and characters.
Mini Candy Canes: Decorative pillars or roof trim.
Assorted Sprinkles: Use for a festive snowy effect or fine details.
Licorice Twists/Ropes: Excellent for trim, outlines, or fences.
Remember: The best decorations are lightweight and can be easily attached with icing.
We can't wait to see your amazing creations! 🏠✨
