A family gingerbread morning at the Nature Center at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, run by St. Petersburg Parks & Recreation as part of its Holidays in the Sunshine City season. Instead of a classic gingerbread house, families design a habitat for a favourite animal: an aviary for birds, a mountain for goats or a grassland for lions, using decorating supplies the rangers provide. It is a hands-on, two-hour drop-in style activity that suits preschoolers through school-age children working alongside a grown-up, and it pairs well with a walk on the preserve's trails afterwards. The city's holiday page does not print a fee or registration requirement for this activity; Boyd Hill's regular preserve admission is $3 per adult and $1.50 for children ages 3-16, so check with the preserve (727-893-7441) whether entry is charged on the day.
