Gingerbread Houses

With all of the excitement from the holidays, the kids have been talking about making gingerbread houses. Instead of baking the gingerbread, the kids started making them out of boxes and cardboard. We used icing and lots of candy to start creating our houses...............

As the houses are coming together, we are starting to incorporate PATTERNS! For different parts of the houses, we are making patterns out of the candy.

We are using marshmallows to make patterns out of two colors, and once we got the hang of that, we moved up to 3 color patterns!
