Head to that bouncy castle!).

More Gingerbread Making!
After their huge success last year, apple seeds is bringing back the bread! The first event is already over but we are still in time for the finale (just RSVP by Tuesday, 15 December)! Your littles will get given a chance to construct their very own gingerbread house out of bread and icing! They can channel that creativity and hunger into decoration designs with holiday treats. So why not head over to get that much needed sugar kick? An added plus is that these masterpieces of art will (hopefully!) last as Christmas decorations!
