While it doesn't have the pungent aroma of baked gingerbread or the sweetness of the icing and candy, this gingerbread house and accordion book is a treat. I used the bottom of a grocery bag for the house and half the front panel of a grocery bag for the gingerbread men. You may want to glue your accordion into the house which I forgot to demonstrate on the video.

Delightful story of the Gingerbread Baby's new friends with Jan Brett's always engaging illustrations. I find I spend more time with the pictures than the words in her books.
How to Make a Gingerbread House
I haven't tried the recipe but her description of the process fits what I learned (the hard way) in several years of gingerbread house construction.

Way too cute! I so need to remember to share this tomorrow when on my blog when I talk about gingerbread houses. It's a shame I didn't see this post before making our not as cute houses.
This looks very cute and (most importantly) easy! ;-) I saw this posted over at The Crafty Crow and had to come check it out. I'm considering doing this at our homeschool co-op next week when we have our Christmas party. What a fun craft!
