Gingerbread Houses

Since Grace's favorite Christmas activity is decorating gingerbread houses, we made sure that gingerbread houses were on our Advent Activity Calendar for today because it is her birthday.  We thought that this was a great way to celebrate.  To keep this activity simple and fun, we use the pre-assembled gingerbread houses that are available at Target.  This works perfectly for our family as the kids get all of the fun of decorating, but we don't have to remember to pre-assemble the house the night before.

An alternative idea is to create a gingerbread nativity scene. We might try this next year.
