The graham crackers make it look more realistic and more like a gingerbread house. The pretzels worked very well as rods holding the graham crackers. The materials that did not work so well were the fruit flakes and the icing. The icing did not stick and the fruit flakes, since they were small, did not stay on very well. These are the materials that worked well and the ones that did
