Just in time for the holidays, Melissa & Doug introduces a winter seasonal toy that kids can enjoy all year long: our Wooden Gingerbread House Winter Frost Play Set!
Kids can dive into hands-on winter holiday fun with this build-your-own wooden gingerbread house play set, which also includes wooden play figures for hours of open-ended, kid-powered pretend play, promoting storytelling. To build (and re-build!) the wooden gingerbread house, kids use the included laces and self-stick tabs to hold the pieces together, which helps encourage fine motor skills. Kids also practice matching and sorting abilities by building the wooden gingerbread house, and express themselves creatively through how they decorate it.
Plus, because of the gingerbread house’s sturdy wooden pieces, parents and caregivers can expect generations of play from this whimsical winter holiday-themed play set. In this edition of our Toy Spotlight blog, get all the playful details on the Melissa & Doug Wooden Gingerbread House Play Set, and learn why it’s the perfect toy to consider for this holiday shopping season.
