Making a gingerbread house is a simple activity to do with your children when you purchase a gingerbread house kit. This super fun, super simple kid-friendly project is all about making a delicious Gingerbread House and decorating it with gumdrops, licorice, peppermint, and delicious icing.

Each December we have a wonderful holiday tradition of creating Gingerbread Houses filled with loads of candy. We have a glorious time creating a gingerbread village together! The best part is that I make the purchases for the Gingerbread House Kits NOW - in November — way before they all sell out!! And the best part is that they are usually all on sale now.

Now that my kiddos are a bit older, I adore these traditions even more!! There are so many different Gingerbread House Kits available I wanted to run down what I think are the best since we’ve been building Gingerbread Houses for a long time now!

Since it is now truly “ ‘Tis the Season’ “ for all the holiday baking and decking of the halls to begin, what better place to begin than with a holiday activity tradiion for the perfect winter day? The holidays are officially here!!

One of my children’s most favorite holiday activities has always been creating Gingerbread Houses. We try to mix it up and get different ones each year, but we have some favorites for sure. One of the best things about this holiday activity is that purchasing Gingerbread House Kits is very economical!
