Houses and decorating supplies are provided, and you are welcome to bring your own finishing touches. Beyond the gingerbread, there are refreshments, prizes, ornament crafts and a family photo area, so bring a camera. Registration is required for a pre-built house, with one hut per family or friend group — the library prefers each group to register once rather than individually. Registration opens a month ahead, on November 4 at 5:00 PM. Arrive on time: late arrivals may lose their spot to the waiting list, and repeated no-shows can cost registration privileges. ## Similar picks in Tampa - [Homeschool Holiday Candles Workshop (ages 6-12) — Dunedin Library](https://grassyknees.com/tampa/activities/homeschool-holiday-candles-workshop-ages-6-12-dunedin-library--listing-5ed63fb76bf114785642722f) — Tue, Dec 15 · 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM · Dunedin Public Library (Meeting Room B) · Ages 6–12 · Free · checked Oct 20.
