Get lots of different kinds of candy in different colors and shapes, graham crackers, and frosting to make gingerbread houses. Let each member of the family make his or her own house and put them all together at the end to make a village.
Here’s the recipe for the frosting:
2 egg whites
1 t. cream of tartar
2 c. powdered sugar
Whip egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Slowly add sugar and beat until stiff. Use immediately or cover with a wet towel.
