They have these incredible gingerbread cookie kits – we're talking full-on gingerbread houses, charming villages, and even cute little trains – all for just $5 each! It's such a steal, especially when you think about how much fun they are to build. For anyone wondering about the "how to build" part or if these are like the "ez build gingerbread house kits," let me tell you, they're super user-friendly. These kits are designed for all skill levels, definitely making them a great option for a family activity. Each kit, whether it's the house, village, or train, comes with everything you need: pre-baked gingerbread pieces, a packet of icing, and a bunch of candies for decorating. It really takes the stress out of making a gingerbread masterpiece from scratch! Here are a few tips from my own experience to make your $5 Five Below gingerbread kit building go smoothly: Prep Your Space: Lay down some newspaper or a tablecloth. Trust me, icing and candy tend to get everywhere, especially with little helpers around. This makes cleanup so much easier! Icing is Key: The included icing is your glue. Don't rush it! When you're assembling the walls and roof, apply a good bead of icing and then let it set for about 15-20 minutes before adding too much weight or moving it around. This is crucial for a sturdy structure. If you try to decorate too quickly, things might slide! You can even pop the assembled structure into the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the setting process. Get Creative with Decorating: While the kits include candy and icing, don't be afraid to add your own flair! I always like to buy extra sprinkles, gummy candies, or even some mini chocolate chips to really personalize our gingerbread creations. It makes each gingerbread house, village, or train truly unique. Make it a Family Tradition: This is your sign to gather the family! Building a gingerbread kit is such a sweet memory-maker. Put on some holiday music, grab some hot cocoa, and just enjoy the process together. It’s a low-cost, high-fun activity that perfectly embodies the holiday spirit. Whether you pick up the classic gingerbread house cookie kit, the adorable gingerbread village cookie kit, or the fun gingerbread train cookie kit, you’re in for a treat. For just $5, you get a fantastic activity that results in a festive, edible decoration. It’s definitely a Five Below tradition I'm happy to start!
