A gingerbread house kit is a boxed set of supplies used to make a gingerbread house, which normally consists of gingerbread pieces for walls and a roof and various candies and icing for decorations and assembly.

Gingerbread house kits can be purchased during the holidays at retailers like grocery stores or large retail chains like Target or Walmart. Craft stores like Michael's and Jo-Ann Fabric also sell gingerbread house kits. They can even be found online at retailers like Amazon.com.

Most gingerbread house kits include everything one would need to put together and decorate a holiday gingerbread house. Additional things you may want to have on hand include extra holiday candy and decorative frosting.

Gingerbread house kits come in a few varieties. Some come with the gingerbread pieces of the house already baked and just require assembly. Others come with a mix that you make to create the pieces of the house yourself, and then assemble. Others come with just a recipe, and molds or directions for making the pieces yourself. In addition to a kit, to make a gingerbread house you will need something to put it on and extra decorations to make it look the way you want.
