I make my own and don't really eat them- if you want a structurally sound one then the pieces need to be harder and won't be as yummy

You’re asking the impossible OP. Get a kit that looks easy where you don’t have to make your own icing or anything. The kids can eat the decorations but the gingerbread is never going to be delicious.

I'd recommend not eating it and using hot glue on it to hold it in place. Then just bake some gingerbread cookies for the kids to eat while they do it.

I thought the point was building them -- not eating them. DD and I love to make these together.

Use a container the right shape, hot glue gun graham crackers to it. Then let the kids use frosting and put candy on to decorate.

I used to bake them myself - an easy triangular chalet shape.

Well, they *can* be eaten, but taste like crap. You can make them yourself from scratch, and obviously that will be edible, but it's considerably more effort.

Are you looking for ones where the cookies are pre-baked? Because you won't find them particularly edible. The point is structural integrity, not taste.

Please recommend a yummy, colorful, & easy to made gingerbread house cookie kit. Kids are 3 & 5 years old. A lot of the store ones do not taste good.
