Mmm, Cookies!
Last Saturday was April 1st, meaning it was April Fool’s Day! To celebrate the first day of April, we decided to do a take on Robert Munsch’s book, “Mmm, Cookies!”.
For those of you who don’t know the story, the protagonist fooled others into eating a cookie made of play-clay. Eventually, he gets fooled into eating one himself and the story ends with everyone enjoying real, edible cookies. So, in the spirit of April Fools, we decided to make our own play-clay cookies!
After we made our play-clay cookies, the little bakers were ready to make the edible ones! They worked together and took a turn adding and stirring in ingredients. Always curious and learning, the little bakers used their senses to smell the batter after every step. Once the vanilla was added, in the smell breaks were even more frequent!
We decided to make funfetti cookies because who doesn’t love sprinkles? Although they enjoyed making play-cookies, these little bakers enjoyed real cookie dough even more!
While the cookies were in the oven, the smell of freshly baked cookies started to fill the daycare (yum!). Everyone at daycare couldn’t resist having one for themselves. The little bakers were so proud of their cookies that they made sure to save some for their parents.
Join us every Saturday at Buddings for more baking activities like this!
