I don't know why I didn't think about this earlier; my mom has a private day care and does this with the kids every year.
She uses the graham crackers and royal icing that someone else mentioned. She gets gum drops, M&Ms, licorice, etc. and lets the kids decorate the houses using the icing. Typically, we'd put them all together the night before they decorate them so they'll be dry and sturdy by the next morning.
And, even though it's not real gingerbread, you can actually eat these. They're pretty tasty; at least, that's what I've been told.

Never did see a house like that again, though. 
) has been pestering me for the past 3 years to get a gingerbread house kit with full intention of eating it on Christmas. I guess he has always wanted to do this since he was a kid...I dunno 
. Anyways, I haven't really ventured into any stores yet this season (thank you online shopping!) and want to take him out Saturday to pick one up. Instead of wasting gas and driving around everywhere, anyone have some ideas of where to look or where they've seen them for sale? We'd like a kit so he can "build" it himself.
