Recently, ALDI sent me a Benton’s Kids Gingerbread House kit to try out with the kids. These are priced at $5.99 in the stores, which is a fantastic price for the fun you can get out of these kits! We did a kit last year too because I couldn’t resist the great price and the convenience.
This past Sunday the little kids and I had a little fun…
First of all, the kits come with EVERYTHING you need to make your Gingerbread House including all the walls, frosting, decorations, and a base.
I put the walls together while the kids patiently waited…
All the walls together, time for the decorating fun…
I think I went a little heavy on the frosting on the walls because we started to run out. The instructions said to only cut off a little off the frosting tip but I think I cut a little too much. It didn’t really matter because we still had fun decorating!
Final Product:
Then guess what? Five minutes after completed, they decided they wanted to eat it. No matter how much I tried to convince to not ruin their creation and wait for daddy to get home, it didn’t matter – they started chomping into it. It must have been pretty good to eat as they did pretty good damage to the gingerbread house almost right after they created it!
So much fun for just $5.99 – pick one at at ALDI today! Check out my Top 10 Reasons I Love to Shop at ALDI if you are a newbie!

We choose the Limited Edition Gingerbread house Kit, I would warn you not to buy this because….. we tried many times and It kept falling apart pretty much every time we let go of it, so we hot glued it and it kind of worked. Second of all the frosting was horrible it did not stick to the gingerbread house, it was also awful when we even put it on the roof because it kept sliding off. We spent hours to have it look like a pile of gingerbread and frosting on top. Also I would warn you that the ginger bread cookies are stale and gross the only thing that tasted okay was the green trees. If I could rate this I would give this 0.5 out of 5 stars. It was very FRUSTRATING to do. I would like it very much if you could fix it.
Mine kept falling apart also–ended up in the trash can. Would NEVER buy this kit again!! Every thing Katie said is true!!
