We made Oreo's houses, which we bought back in December to do with the grandparent but unfortunately they didn't want to.  Had a lot of fun making them and just seeing the smiles on their faces and hearing them laugh is all worth it.  Mine didn't stand a chance since I kept giving the kids all the parts of my house to them for theirs.
