Perfect Indoor Winter Activity!

My child loves the Gingerbread Man story. The plastic pieces and tub you fill with water are durable. It's a fun activity that allows my child to explore creative problem solving using trial and error. The guide does offer some building suggestions for young engineers.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

A lesson in persistence
June 22, 2020 - By Shelly Aksomitasfrom Charleston, SC
My 5 yo son love loves the Gingerbread Man and was so excited to see the characters and receive the challenge after reading the story. We tried several plans for bridges and rafts. They all failed and we had to continue revising. After about a half dozen attempts we built a raft buoyant enough to keep the mans feet out of the water!
Yes, I would recommend this product.
