Late Gingerbread House---Homemade Gingerbread House for Children

Overview

On December 15th, I received a notification from the kindergarten that the whole city would have a holiday due to the smog. After calculating, I could get five days off in total, so I took my children to escape from the smog... We were originally going to make a Christmas gingerbread house together, so we moved it to Christmas day. I hope that by posting it on the first day after Christmas, I can chase an elk's tail. I wonder what kind of Christmas everyone spent with their children? This year's Christmas, I accompanied my children to have a close encounter with scorpions and spiders. Let alone the children, it was the first time for me to come into contact with these little things. The feeling was itchy and thrilling when I touched it on my palms! Back to the topic, gingerbread houses are a must-have for Christmas every year. You can see them almost every Christmas. The gingerbread houses outside can even be made into very tall buildings. In fact, these are not difficult, you just need some patience and slowly bake the houses piece by piece. When you play with gingerbread houses at home, you only need to bake a small house for the children to build. Believe me, the children will have a special sense of accomplishment! And I was so excited the whole time! During the production process, children's eyesight, hand muscles, and fine motor skills are exercised.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Parents are needed to help draw the house drawings they want,

   

2. 2 During this period, you can ask your children for their opinions;

   

3. 3 Then ask the children to help cut out the “house”;

   

4. 4 Prepare a medium-sized basin, put all the ingredients into the basin, and then slowly knead it with your hands into a smoother dough. This requires a process, and there are a lot of ingredients, so take your time;

   

5. 5 After kneading, place it in the refrigerator for an hour to relax the dough;

   

6. 6 Place a cookie sheet the size of a baking sheet on a chopping board, take out a portion of the rested dough and place it on the cookie sheet;

   

7. 7 Press the dough with your hands first into a uniform thickness;

   

8. 8 Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thickness of about 0.3-0.4 mm;

   

9. 9 Place different house materials on the dough pieces respectively;

   

10. 10 Use a knife to carve out the shape along the edge of the house and remove the excess dough;

    

11. 11 Then carefully lift the cookie paper and spread it on the baking sheet, and use a fork to make rows of small holes to facilitate baking until evenly;

    

12. 12 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies, so cookies that are too small need to be watched next to the oven;

    

13. 13 To make icing, mix egg whites, powdered sugar and an appropriate amount of lemon juice with a hand whisk. The amount of lemon juice determines the viscosity of the icing. It is recommended to add less lemon juice when sticking the house, which will make it stick more firmly. To make the snow on the house thinner, you need to add more lemon juice;

    

14. 14 To stick the house, take two pieces of wall, use a brush to apply frosting on the lower end and sides, and stick them where the base needs to be placed;

    

15. 15 After the frosting solidifies, stick to other parts in turn;

    

16. 16 Then wait for the frosting to solidify before sticking other parts in turn;

    

17. 17 You can make some decorations on the house. I gave the children the baked decorative beans at home to decorate the house;
