Wooden Gingerbread Buddy - ON SALE - REDUCED BY $7
The first gingerbread man is credited to Queen Elizabeth I, who "knocked the socks off visiting dignitaries" by presenting them with one baked in their own likeness. Gingerbread tied with a ribbon was popular at fairs and, when exchanged, became a token of love.*
Give the enduring gift of love this Christmas with a little wooden gingerbread buddy. This little friend pairs wonderfully with all of our other Gingerbread products; which you can also find in the Christmas Collection.
This little buddy is what we like to call 2.5d: shaped on one side and flat on the other. They stand independently in a small world set-up or lay flat in a play tray. They are made from sustainably-sourced premium pine, machined, hand-finished, engraved and sealed with beeswax wood balm. They are designed and made by Beadie Bug Play in Adelaide, South Australia.
Dimensions: 7.5cm x 6cm x 1.8cm
Recommended age 3+. Use under adult supervision. Not recommended for use as a teething or chew toy. Please handle gently. Only for use in dry sensory bases. Clean off using a dry toothbrush, clean cloth and re-wax every 6-12 months.

So perfect
This little gingerbread buddy is so sweet! It’s not too big or small and nestled into sensory play beautifully. My son just adores this and carries it almost everywhere.
