Here we go again...another #Halloween. Can't wait to make our #Halloween Haunted house again this year! I hope you take the time to spend #qualitytime with your #amazingkid this #Halloween.

Love, love, love these gingerbread houses! We have bought these before for other holidays. They are easy to use and your kid has so much fun decorating!

Haunted Gingerbread House by Create a Treat. See link on my links page

Chocolate gingerbread!

Easy to assemble.

The easy to use base and the icing hold the gingerbread house in place. It doesn't cave in or fall like others I have made.

First step complete.

What I love about this cookie craft is that my daughter can make it her own, unique design.

She even mentioned to me on several occasions that she doesn't have to decorate it like the picture on the box.

What kids learn:

Patience in building the ginger bread house with the frosting base and waiting for it to dry before decorating.

Tracing of lines while applying the frosting on windows, roof, doors, etc.

Builds strength in their little hands that will help with writing or other activities.

Using color and different items to decorate and make patterns or own designs.

My daughter used opposites and numerical matching items to decorate windows and roof.

What we shared: An evening of fun creating our own happy haunted house!

Laughs, #qualitytime, memories, a new family tradition and patience in taking turns.

Haunted houses don't have to be spooky!

Take the time today to spend #qualitytime with your #amazingkids. Whether you make a Haunted Gingerbread House, make holiday cookies or another holiday craft. I love to do things like this with my daughter. She has learned so much from everything we do together. We don't look for perfection in our crafts, we don't always use the best materials (many times we use stuff from around our house) to me it is about spending time with my #amazingkid and teaching her something about everything. For her it is #qualitytime with her mom and learning new things. Kids need this to feel loved, special and build confidence. It is our job to do this and nurture #amazingkids! Take the time and make the time for your kids. You'll be glad you did.

Happy #Halloween week! Have a boo....tiful day! All of my best, Dyan
