Giant gingerbread men have run all the way from fairy-tale land to Colour My World this holiday season! Young artists will craft their own oversized biscuit from papier-mâché, then introduce colour and texture with paint, beads, and “icing”. Finally, they’ll add the finishing touch with a stencilled candy cane accessory.

You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!”
