Such a yummy fun way to spend your time!
It was fun! 🙂
Love the idea of using graham crackers! May I ask what you used as the base…it looks like white cardboard but prettier!! 🙂
Hi Angela,
The prettier ones are cardboard cake circles. They're made by Wilton, and you can usually find them at Walmart in the cake decorating section. My mother-in-law took a cake decorating class, and she gave me these. I didn't have enough of them this time, so I did cut a circular shape out of a cardboard box for one of them, and covered it in white freezer paper (and taped it to the cardboard underneath). The other one is a piece of corrugated circular white cardboard that I'm not sure where it came from, but it worked well.
In years past, before my mother-in-law gave me the cake circles, I just cut square shapes out of cardboard boxes and covered them with freezer paper. Or, you can cover it with aluminum foil, too. But, yes, the cake circles make it a lot prettier! 🙂
Those are adorable! My sister is in the middle of making a great big graham cracker house and light house and is having a wonderful time too. 🙂 I love the little snowman one of your children made! 🙂
Thank you, Sarah! A big house and a light house…that sounds really creative! 🙂
What fun!!! We are going to make gingerbread house on Monday. 🙂 This will be a first time for us. 🙂
Have fun, Tanya! I'm sure you and your little ones will love it! 🙂
They are cute, Joy! What a fun idea. And I really like how they are all lined up and displayed on the shelf!
Thanks, Sarah! 🙂
