Build A Gingerbread House Together

Christmas conjures thoughts of special treats, beautiful decorations, and time with the family. Well, here's a way to combine all three!

Think about all the fun and laughter your family would have as they construct and adorn a cute gingerbread house complete with snow, windows, and doors.

Kahla Johnson of Mueller Community Church said building a gingerbread house was a great way to spend time with family.�

Little ones love to help decorate the houses and sneak a few lollies too,� she said.�

Even if there is a crooked wall or wobbly chimney, the fact it has been made with people you love makes any house special. Or if in doubt add a dinosaur!�

Gingerbread house kits are available from retailers like Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, Spotlight and some online stores. There are even kits for building a gingerbread train or reindeer. Kits typically contain gingerbread parts, icing and lollies.
