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.

Thank you, Susan, for the notification of your new blog address.
As always, SO lovely and so inspiring.
I can think of 5 little people who would like a gingerbread house. Thanks again.

This is a darling idea. I featured it on my website.
Thanks Liz. Happy holidays!
Love it, Susan! I think we'll give this a try this weekend...
Love this! We are making these tomorrow with a Girl Scout Daisy Troop in West Newbury!
I am a first-grade teacher and have incorporated your ideas into our classroom. The children are really proud of their work--so am I! Thank you for your great ideas.
Thanks Dynette. First graders and books are a great combination!
How cute! And great for all grandkids, including those with food allergies and intolerance symtoms. My grandkids and I love to use Christmas gingerbread foamies and stickers to make gingerbread houses and they are great for that as well. Thanks again for a lovely visit.
SUPER IDEA!!! Thanks for inspiration!
