Gingerbread Report

I've made a little more progress on the Christmas Carousel, including this sweet bench made from icing. It's quite possible that my gingerbread project is complete. But it looks a little barren in the "yard" area. So, if inspiration strikes, I may add some more before carting it off to the Gingerbread display at the bank.

I did, however, already bring over the Gingerbread Train made by Alicia and her toddler class at her daycare. Seven of the twelve kids in her class were there to help with the finger-licking good construction project.

I wondered how this would go, trying to make gingerbread with 2-year-olds. But they did such a great job. Some of them have a definite creative streak which was cool to see. And others had a strong fancy for the sweet stuff...

One little fella had to give each candy a good lick before sticking it to the side of his train car piece.

I left them with some little gingerbread men to decorate and consume later this afternoon.
