Gingerbread Adventures Teaches and Entertains Children
In the interactive Gingerbread Adventures exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden, children learn about the different plant parts used in creating one of their favorite holiday snacks, gingerbread. The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden is home of Gingerbread Adventures, through January 10, 2010.Vibrant vignettes of a gingerbread town deck the halls of the Discovery Center. A gingerbread jazz band, ice skaters and a gingerbread farmer are among the colorful characters displayed in the exhibit.
Youngsters will experience that cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree and ginger is derived from an underground stem, as they explore these and other plant ingredients that go into the classic gingerbread recipe. Children are invited to grind and examine gingerbread ingredients under a microscope and develop a field research notebook about their visit. Less research-oriented children may also enjoy decorating pots with faces and planting wheat seeds that will quickly sprout into miniature heads of wheat, once the pots are brought home to root on sunny windowsills, a lasting reminder that flour (a key ingredient in gingerbread) comes from a plant.
Gingerbread Adventures also features a whimsical display of gingerbread houses. Some of New York’s most imaginative bakers have prepared unique gingerbread creations, certain to capture the imaginations of both children and adults, while evoking the wonder and delicious joys of the holiday season. This year the bakers creating the fairy-tale themed confections are Jill Adams, The Cake Studio, Brooklyn; Kate Almond, Sugar and Spice Bake Shop, the Bronx; Liv Hansen, Riviera Bakehouse, Ardsley; Kate Sullivan, Lovin Sullivan Cakes, Manhattan; and Mark Tasker, Balthazar Bakery, Manhattan.
