This listing is for the crochet pattern for the Gingerbread House Adventure Bag.

The idea behind the adventure bags is that each bag is a toy in its own right, which has appropriate themed accessories to match. As well as being part of the toy, at the end of the day when the fun has ended, these bags fold away and store all the accessories inside them, meaning they don’t require much storage. As a lovely advantage they are also the perfect travel toy for any child to take away with them for any length of time.

The Gingerbread House Adventure Bag

The Gingerbread House Adventure Bag is, as the name suggests a Gingerbread House in a bag. When closed up the bag just looks like a Gingerbread House with a chimney, however, when opened up this bag is so much more. This adventure bag is designed to be an interactive toy with all the magic of Christmas. Inside the house is a fireplace at the bottom of the chimney. The Bag comes with the patterns for the Gingerbread Man who lives there, and his Christmas Tree. Outside the house is has been snowing and so the Gingerbread Man has been outside and built his own snowman in the snow found when you open the front flap of the house. Up on the rooftops Santa is busy making his deliveries and has bought his sack of presents to the Gingerbread Man’s Chimney. Santa can take the presents out of the bag and put them down the chimney and they will arrive in the Gingerbread Man’s fireplace. Alternatively Santa can go down the chimney and deliver the presents himself and put them directly under the Christmas Tree. This Gingerbread House Adventure Bag will provide hours of imagination this Christmas and when your child has finished their play everything pops inside the house and the flap is closed up to turn it back into a bag which means this can be played with anywhere.

The finished Gingerbread House is 9” wide x 10” tall x 4.5” deep when closed.
