(Berkeley, CA) December 22, 2009—
Habitot Children’s Museum celebrates the winter season with a one-of-a-kind Gingerbread House Party! Preschool age children will decorate a giant gingerbread house with oodles of goodies including candies, cookies and sprinkles. Visitors can also play in the Wind Tunnel as candy “sprinkles” fly in a magical storm of sweets. Every child’s creativity will be engagedby building giant candies in our Art Studio. After the event, the completed house will be donated to an organization serving battered women and children in the Bay Area. This FREE Admission Event is kindly sponsored by Wells Fargo.
