Our daughter had a school project(kindergarten)....they had to construct a "home" with their mom/dad.....I'm being very honest when I say ...she had the idea in her head I just helped get it on the board! ....she was ready to break out the gingerbread but I suggested we go a graham cracker route! She said she wanted a triangle roof and even bossed...i mean suggested how I do it....she wanted snow, because it NEVER snows here... she wanted a xmas bow, and bricks....she attached all the bricks herself ....ok so maybe I added a FEW touches here and there to the whole thing .....after she went to bed......hah she is so so excited to take this to her class today! Its only 6in wide and 5in high!!
