Gingerbread Houses for Kids

Rating:
Summary: A MUST have book for beginners, even if you're not a kid
Review: After numerous gingerbread house failures, and swearing I would never make another gingerbread house, my sister recommended this book. Within a week my 3 children and I had made all six buildings in the book and created an amazingly beautiful gingerbread village. The book has easy to follow directions and illustrations, full size patterns (no more trying to enlarge tiny patterns) and lots of ideas for decorating. I now have the "gingerbread house bug" AND the secrets to success, and am starting on a victorian house - something I never would have considered two weeks ago. This book is GREAT!!!

Review: I just finished reading through this book and i cant wait to get started.I really love the check list in the back so we can't forget anything we need to get started.The only thing that i do not like is every picture has been drawn.We would love to have some real color pictures to look at.

Summary: Great book for beginners and kids.
Review: This is the easiest how-to book I've read in a long time. It's so thorough that the "equipment needed" list includes a stove. But they leave nothing to chance. The patterns are simple and well drawn and if you want to get adventurous, you can make a whole town from the patterns and ideas in the book. We spent the day on our "Gingerbread village" and neighbors and friends wandered through all day to help put it together. When someone said "This is fun!" my 7 year old said, "This is excellent!" Also good for school projects and book reports...especially the castle. But don't start out on the hard stuff.
