In the afternoon, it started to rain again. We all had a great time constructing and decorating a gingerbread train with icing and candy. The kids cooperated quite well and it entertained them for two hours. At first they felt quite constrained by the directions, and were trying to place every piece of candy just as it appeared on the box. But Sonam's easygoing way encouraged them to freestyle it and by the end we had a very creative (and delicious) train. Rosa even gave a piece to Abuelita to try.

When I had bought the kit on clearance after Christmas, I remember thinking that it would surely result in a huge sticky (but fun) mess. I was amazed that the activity was as controlled and successful as it was. The kids followed directions and exhibited teamwork skills. I was very impressed.
