This past December, for the Followers Christmas Parties, we made gingerbread houses. It was a blast! We had done this activity before, but this time we gave the students a little more freedom with what they wanted to create. There was a simple example, which some students attempted, while others dreamed big and created stadiums!
Here is the recipe for the frosting/glue to hold the houses together:
- Beat the whites of 2 large eggs (we used “liquid egg whites” as a substitute, which worked well) in a mixer @ high speed
- When foamy, add 2 1/2 cups of confectionery sugar 1/2 cup at a time
- the process takes approximately 7-8 minutes
We used graham crackers, spice drops, M&Ms, lots of sprinkles, marshmallows, wafer bars, licorice, and candy canes.

Is there a way to get single pics off the video?
I’ve got the pics on the Main Street Theatre computer at church… you can look for the one you want the next time you’re there!
