Highlights - Things to Expect:

• FUN!! Learning!

Everyone will get the basic supplies to decorate a Gingerbread Heart (Lebkuchenherzchen), craft a Glupper (wooden clip-on name badge), and craft a Bierdeckel (wooden beer glass cover).

Note: If you want to make additional Bierdeckel, please order them as Add-ons. These were difficult to import from Germany, so they are limited to 1 per person as part of the base price.
