Gingerbread Buddies: A Toddler Baking & Decorating Experience

Calling all little bakers and their grown-ups! Join us for a magical holiday edition of our popular toddler baking series — “Gingerbread Buddies” — a festive hands-on cookie baking and decorating experience inspired by the classic gingerbread boy and girl!

Designed especially for toddlers aged 1–3 years old, this joyful experience led by Chef Tai Heath will have your little one rolling, cutting, baking, and decorating adorable gingerbread cookies — all while making sweet holiday memories.

What to Expect

• Roll, Cut, Bake & Decorate: Toddlers will roll cookie dough, cut festive gingerbread shapes, and decorate them with colorful icing and sprinkles.
• Interactive Play: While cookies bake and cool, we’ll enjoy circle time or some other fun activity.
• Take-Home Treats: Each child will leave with their personally crafted cookies. We'll also have on hand extra cookies to avoid the possible toddler melt down as a result of them wanting to eat their cookies before the workshop is complete
• Festive Vibes: Enjoy the cozy holiday atmosphere, complete with cheerful music and a twinkling setup perfect for photos.
