Description of the games found in the closet:

Smell the spices and put them in the right place. Anise, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

Put the jars in the right place. Rapeseed honey, forest honey, acacia honey

Gingerbread makers used to be able to buy honeycomb, from which they could gain the honey themselves. As a by-product, beeswax was left over, which was used to make candles. Put the scented beeswax candles in order according to their size. 

Feel inside the bag and try to identify the gingerbread shaped like a Hussar.
