Kids from 5 to 12 put together their own gingerbread house on a cardboard base, then cover it in icing and goodies. The library provides most of the sweets, and children are welcome to bring extras of their own.
The session is on Tuesday, December 15, 2026 from 3:30 to 5:00 pm at the Blanding Library, sponsored by the Friends of the Blanding Library. Registration is required. No peanuts or chocolate are allowed, and the page does not list a price.
Parent tip: The 3:30 pm start falls right after school, so a quick snack on the way helps kids decorate more than they eat. Bring a box or tray for the ride home, and check any candy you add for peanuts and chocolate first.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.

Rehoboth was established in 1643, one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts, and it counts 53 historic cemeteries among its many historic sites.

Holiday Hour for Little Ones follows on December 14, when two to four year olds make milk carton gingerbread houses, and A Gingerbread Afternoon on December 15 gives ages 5 to 12 a cardboard base to build on. The Friends of the Blanding Library sponsor all three, and each one requires registration.
