Gingerbread Man Crafts 

The Gingerbread Man is a classic children's story about a runaway gingerbread man fleeing from the woman who baked him and has been around since 1875.

The story is best known for the gingerbread man's catchphrase "Run, run, as fast you can! You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!"

One of the museum front of house staff has come up with some fun children's activities and crafts based on this story and also some fabulous biscuits to make.
