Gingerbread Workshops
Thinkery’s Gingerbread Workshops are an Austin holiday tradition!
Explore art and engineering at home with our Gingerbread Workshop kits!
It wouldn’t be the holiday season without Thinkery’s Gingerbread Workshops! This year, we know a lot of Thinkery families have concerns about health, safety and social distancing…so we’ve created a way to bring the fun of a Gingerbread Workshop into the comfort and safety of your own home!
We’re excited to announce two different Gingerbread Workshop take-home kits will be available this year: a “cookie people” kit for all-ages fun, and a full Gingerbread House constuction kit for builders age 4+
Kits are available now for purchase through our Online Store, or you can buy them in-person at Thinkery beginning Thursday, December 3.
