It was so fun. Very chill. It was like 70% off at Michael's and O hope I can keep it forever. Very sturdy white cardboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2669199 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 10:13:47 +0000 AB810 2669199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made the one from Trader Joe's at home and part of a small village from Target at my in laws. It was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2669064 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 22:29:40 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2669064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully we'll make a kit with my family. My husband and sister usually team up. </p> <p>I have made mini ones quite a few times and they're really fun and easy. Six graham crackers "glued" together with melted white sugar so everything is edible. Top with icing and whatever candies you like! Note: for glue all you do is put white sugar in a pan on medium heat and stir until it melts and goes brown. It can be used exactly like hot glue and dries fast. It's also just as dangerous/ more so than hot glue and every time I do it I burn myself and it hurts a lot! But it's once a year or every few years. :). Definitely assemble without small children present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2669040 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 21:18:12 +0000 youboots 2669040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Do you construct it and wait for it to be ant bait afterward? We're decorating gingerbread men from Target soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2668629 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 11:07:56 +0000 lilyann 2668629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made a couple from trader joe's.

I bought a Trader Joe's kit and our naughty dog ate about half of it. So now we have a pup with an upset tummy and no gingerbread house because our local stores are all out. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2668577 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 09:33:23 +0000 Ajsmommy 2668577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a small kit for $3 and it was perfect for my 3 yo. We did it a few weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-making-a-gingerbread-house-this-year#post-2668574 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 09:30:18 +0000 looch 2668574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's employer hosts a decorating party every year, so we just go there and go to town!
