Gingerbread men and the building of gingerbread houses is a tradition loved by many around Christmas, but why?
Some people believe the fairytale Hansel and Gretel was based on this tradition while other historians believe creating gingerbread houses was influenced by the story.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are credited with popularising the Christmas Tree and incorporating gingerbread into Christmas through gifts they gave.
Here are a few activities for you to try over the Christmas holidays (oh and don't forget to enter the competitions below!)
