Christmas is the perfect time of year to include a theme about decorating gingerbread houses and gingerbread people during our swimming lessons.
This is such a popular theme and use it multiple times a year.
Here is where I get the props from:
Gingerbread house:
Walls - sponges
Decorations:
Decorations for the house and the gingerbread people.
Oversized Pom poms
Swirl sweets - I made these myself using sparkly craft foam & plain craft foam (bows). Glue gun was used that works well in the water.
Chocolates - these are from a cute dessert tower set. You can get these from my shop.
Gingerbread people:
I got these from Hobby craft a couple of years ago and I can't find them on the website now so I have found these from Baker Ross that are very "sweet"or you can make your own by clicking the template below.
This link will have a template you can use to print and laminate and use as a picture or use the other template to draw around and cut out using brown craft foam.
Additional props:
I also used these gorgeous silicone hearts. I have these in my shop to purchase.
The golden magical eggs are a hit and you put the smaller decorations inside.
Buckets and bowls to use as containers are very useful - they wont be rolling or spill all over poolside.
I then use the Activity idea sheet and lesson planning sheet which can be found in my brand new - Swimming Teacher Planner. See link below and download your free sheets.

Enjoy decorating!
