Several years ago I was inspired by Connie’s Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses. Since reading Connie’s fun idea, I’ve made making these Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses a tradition at our house too. It’s become a fun family tradition that we decided to invite friends over and to do them at our homeschool co-op holiday party. That’s a lot of gingerbread houses!

After many years of making these Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses with our family, we decided it was time to share the fun with friends. We had our first Graham Cracker Gingerbread House decorating party just a few days ago. I had every family bring a few bags of candy to share. We had a potluck style lunch, lots of play time, and then the kids created their special houses for almost an hour. Afterwards, we went on a nice long forest hike on our trails to help work out the sugar-induced energy, ha.
Making the graham cracker gingerbread houses in advance is really easy. Use 3 graham crackers for each house. Break in half and glue each piece together using the royal icing. Glue the roof pieces to each other and to the bottom half of the house. Allow to dry for about 30 minutes. After that, you can decorate at will.
