I have to give a shout out to Target and their favorite day brand gingerbread house kits. They come with clips to help with assembly! Their instructions also recommend decorating prior to assembly, which made it much easier for my youngest. Icing is easier to apply on a horizontal surface.

We bought early this year because I missed the window for the Halloween houses and scrambled through the pantry for substitutions. Graham crackers covered in melted chocolate fitted the horror theme, but was more a Mom project than a youngest’s project. I appreciate a well engineered kit that needs minimal adult intervention.
