My girls don't really like gingerbread, so like many others, we do the graham cracker houses. I use royal icing to hold them together. I assemble the 4 sides and stick them to each other and down with icing onto an upside down styrofoam plate. The kids decorate the houses and then the two pieces for the roof and I "glue" the roof on last. We've been doing it for about 3 years with cousins & friends and haven't had one break yet. (crossing fingers now!) They do make cute decorations but the kids especially love eating them. Gotta be all edible for us!
