One thing our family LOVES is gingerbread houses. And it seems like you can find them for every major holiday now a days! And when I spotted this amazingly cute kit with 5 houses, I was a bit smitten. Micah absolutely adores doing crafts as a family, so I immediately threw this in my cart for the next weekend night we had free.

Five adorable houses for the price of one kit, so dang perfect. I wouldn’t have to share a house with my husband or son. We are all lovers of doing crafts together & all have our own opinions of what things should look like. So sharing isn’t an option for us.

There’s a time & place for sharing. It isn’t when you are doing crafts or eating donuts.

Here are my tips for gingerbread house bliss with the family!

  1. Put together all the houses or house first.  There’s bound to be a royal frosting hog (usually my hubby).
  2. Put candies in individual cups, bowls or whatever you have on hand. Unlike bags they come in, they are less likely to spill over & are easier to pass around.
  3. CHILL OUT. Don’t direct your child or “fix” their house, let their creative juices flow. So what if it’s a icing wonderland or a bunch of smashed sprinkles on one side of the house.
  4. ENJOY IT!!! Take a picture, one day that kid might roll their eyes when you ask if they want to craft together.

By the way, this totally isn’t a sponsored post. My family just has a love of fun seasonal crafts, especially those that involving eating candies that are leftover. If you’re not the crafty type…you could totally buy this one & so say you made it. I won’t tell 😉
