Here's a fun Halloween activity for this spooky weekend to do with the kids that involves one of their favorite building materials ... candy! We did this last weekend and everyone was given some graham crackers, frosting and assorted candies and wafer cookies. The kids had a blast! These are perfect to use as centerpieces for a Halloween party or just for fun.

Many Candy House variations were made and they turned out as cute as can be. The kids even asked to do this a second night and they came up with even more creative structures. It's a really fun food project for the whole family to have fun together. Plus, you can eat the project when you're finished!





You Will Need:

  • graham cracker base

  • frosting for glue

  • wafer cookies for buildings

  • candy corn for fence

  • assorted candy for decoration


What To Do:

  1. Spread a bit of frosting on a plate with a flat center and then press graham cracker base into place.

  2. Frost the topside of the graham crackers and then start adding a candy fence and main buildings , pressing into frosting. Frosting will harden after a few hours.

  3. Add adornments for house, such as roof, windows, chimneys and doors. We cut the wafer cookies into tiny triangles for the peaked roof parts.

  4. Use the frosting to attach all parts. Let dry.
