- Spoon the mixture into a plastic bag.
- Cut a small corner off of the plastic bag.
- Insert the open corner of the plastic bag into the squeeze bottle and squeeze the mixture into the bottle.
Step 3:
- Print out the template to use as guidance when drawing the house. Note: Feel free to create your own gingerbread house design!
- Use the chalkboard marker to draw the house design on the bag.
- Let the design dry.
Step 4:
