Fast and fun no-bake gingerbread houses that are easy to create

Building a fabulous gingerbread house is quick and easy using the patterns and ideas found in Easy Gingerbread Houses. There's no need for the messy and time-consuming tasks of mixing dough, rolling it out, baking it, and waiting for it to harden. All of the houses in this book are made using graham crackers, cookies, cereal, ice cream cones, frostings, and candy treats. For a fun family activity, create a Sweetheart Cottage, a Cozy Cabin, a Big Red Barn, a Blue Dollhouse, a Mermaid Palace, Santa's Castle, or even a Tiki Hut.
