Our happy dancing panda gingerbread cookies may seem a bit out of place at Christmas but they are perfect for a second grade study of Christmas traditions around the world.
Our pandas, skipping around a Chinese pagoda, the Tree of Light, and Dun Che Lao Ren-China's gift giver, are easy to make and instantly make a study of China's Christmas traditions interesting and fun.

Homemade for the Holidays
Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your gingerbread house or holiday cookie is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
