How to make a Gingerbread House. A step by step tutorial
Today my lovely assistant Madelyn is going to show us all how to make a gingerbread house using a milk carton, icing, graham crackers and candy.
1. Spread the icing on the milk carton to stick the graham crackers to.
2. Taste the icing. This is the renowned "Spread a little, lick a little" approach.

4. Add candy and sprinkles.

5. Use icing to add peppermints.
Or just lick it...
6. Ta Da! Your house is complete, sit back and admire your handy work...and be glad nobody is going to live in crooked little house.
Notice in the background that other kids had a significant amount of help from their moms. I am proud to say that other than sticking the graham crackers together and adding a small twizzler embelishment that was eluding Madelyn, she did all of the smearing, decorating, and eating herself.
After you have made your house and eaten too much candy and icing, you may need to call a doctor about your stomach ache. I wouldn't call this one though...she prefers to treat fish.
