Toy Land Express
The Toy Land Express was inspired by “Wicked Goodies Santa’s Workshop Gingerbread House”. The design concept started with a 2’ x 2’ x 2’ cardboard model, built as a dry-run. The cardboard pieces from the model were used as templates to cut shapes from (6) 16×24 sheets of gingerbread provided by Bliss Bakery. The project took 40 man hours to build from concept to finish. 
Special thanks to Bobby Sharon and Teresa McLaughlin for their efforts in the Children’s Museum of Virginia Third Annual Gingerbread House Competition and Exhibit! Entries will be on display in the first floor changing exhibit gallery from November 28 through December 31st, 2014.
