making a gingerbread house




Everyone should put a gingerbread house together with a two-year-old at least once in his or her lifetime. Today was our third such project with Dennis (we did two haunted cookie castles after Halloween) and each time he LOVED it. He does tend to frequently sample the 'mortar' and decorative elements, and he gets excited about putting the pieces together and adding the additional candies. It's a wonder the house held up to all his work. We made a fun video of him excitedly yelling about putting the house together and I managed to snap a few pics of him in action. It's messy. It's sticky. It's difficult and requires more patience than I can possibly describe. And it's totally fun!
