Gingerbread Toy

Here is my finished toy for The Toy Society's Christmas Toy Drop:





I made the little gingerbread house out of felt, using the (baking) gingerbread house pattern from the King Arthur Flour website and then adding a floor to the pattern.

I did my toy drop this evening, just before sunset, because we will not be in town this weekend. I left it at West Side Park, but I didn't want it to be near the playground, so I left it on a bench along the Solar Walk (proportionally spaced statues of all the planets in the solar system).





I figured that by placing it in a more out-of-the-way place, it was more likely that a singular person would find it, instead of a whole group of children.

The bench is located between Jupiter and Saturn.
