I love Christmas and love to share my Christmas traditions with my little ones ( and now my readers as well…)…. When I was little, Christmas in Germany was always a Big event.

Here is one fun Craft that we did every year at home and to this day I still love it and do it with my kids every year. It’s so simple and even the little ones can help.

Cookie Christmas House ( Hexen House):

You need:

1. Graham Crackers or Butter cookies ( 3 per house)
2. Powder sugar
3. Lemon or Lime juice
4. Gummy bears
5. M&M, sprinkles, chocolate chips or anything else you can think of to decorate the Cookie ( Hexen) House

How to make it

1. Mix the Powder Sugar & Lemon/ Lime Juice in a bowl, so you get a thick sugar paste.
2. Fill the sugar paste in a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole in one of the corners ( very small tip).
3. take the graham crackers and break them apart on the line
4. Take the Ziploc bag with the sugar mix and the graham crackers and “glue” two sides on one bottom like a triangle. The Sugar paste is your Glue.
5. Add your gummy bears ( Hansel & Gretel), glue them down with the sugar paste
6. Decorate your house with more sugar paste to make it look like snow frosting, add M7M’s or any other kind of decorations ( gluing it all down with the sugar paste)….
7. That’s it… your Hexenhouse is done. You can wrap it in Clear foil and give it to friends and neighbors or just let the kids eat it
