THE PLAN FOR THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE - Christmas (hardcover)

STEM KIDS CHRISTMAS BOOK

Kids will learn engineering in this STEM kids Christmas book, a fun, exciting activity for both Christmas and STEM engineering. All you need is gingerbread, candy, and a lot of laughs.

Come one, come all! The Gingerbread Fair opens soon!

Teams of kids are baking, building, and decorating. The engineering project guidelines are clear: the winning house must stand upright on its own and a gingerbread boy and girl must fit inside.

Sounds easy? It would be except...cookies burn, the icing is too thin, the house caves-in, someone is eating the candy decorations, and-oh!-they forgot about the gingerbread boy and girl.

Follow the STEM engineering team as they struggle to create the perfect gingerbread house. Young engineers will learn to overcome problems and press on to a finished house. At the end, they evaluate their efforts and plan for a better gingerbread house.
