Holiday Craft Projects Glutenfree And Dairyfree

[rysmom]

Before going gluten-free, we used to make gingerbread houses at holiday time. This is our first Christmas gluten-free but I still wanted to keep some traditions, even if we had to tweak them a bit to keep everyone healthy. So, we made igloos. Sugar cubes and frosting. They came out sooo cute and the kids had such a fun time making them. I told them they can't actually eat them (way too much sugar) but I did allow them to eat a little while they were building.

Just thought I'd share.....

If anyone has any other cute holiday projects, please share. I am always looking for more ideas to keep my little ones busy. TIA!

Do you have any pictures to share? I'd like to try this project with my two kids.

Thanks for the idea.

AHHHH YOU MADE MY DAY!!! So you got me to thinking....this past weekend the boy and I made home made marshmallows and they were easy, fun, not too messy and AMAZING!!!!!! I could use marshmallows to build the igloo too! Now, I think i could use my butter cream cheese frosting that I make myself....but what about candy? I hate gumdrops so that's out. Twizzlers are out. Any suggestions? Are there gluten-free twizzlers or red vines?! I am going to Whole Foods tomorrow so I will look around there but any other ideas? I laughed at myself cause I see my igloo in my head with a snickers bar fence and that's it....HEEEELLLLP!

That sounds really cute! But why did you give up your tradition of making a gingerbread house? We do it gluten-free and dairy-free every year and it's great. There's not really much that needs to be done to modify the recipe. I'll try to find a picture of last year's and put it in my avatar.
