Kits, Kids and Easter

Yesterday we found the inspiring blog ‘Hold Your Horses Vintage’. Erin, crafty mum of 20 month old Oli, sells vintage wears, is inspired by healthy food inspirations and is constantly creating. She picked up one of our Gingerbread House Kits and turned it into an exciting activity to do with her son, that was both delicious and educational.

We think this is an excellent idea. What better method to teach children than with a Gingerbread House building activity? It’s a creative way to develop concentration and motor skills, teaching cooperation and dexterity - and for the real littlies, a new world of vocabulary opens up…like 'wall', 'roof' and maybe even 'yum yum'.

It looks as though everyone has a lot of fun helping to create a Gingerbread House and just as much fun devouring the masterpiece.



Erin took the finished house to her mother's group for all to enjoy. She was kind enough to share some photos of the experience on her blog and we recommend you check out the happy faces and the beautifully decorated Gingerbread House at www.holdyourhorsesvintage.com.

If you are interested in creating your own Gingerbread Houses, then head to our
website We wish you a safe and Happy Easter! Don’t forget, you can still pick up our egg-free Choc-Gingerbread Bunnies at stockists.
