ABC's

As a mom of a 3 year old who loves to help cook, this activity proved fun and educational!

 Charlotte needed help learning some of her letters, so I went to our local teacher supply store and purchased ABC cookie cutters. We made the dough together and then rolled it out 1/4 of an inch thick for the cookie cutters. 

Before she chose any cookie cutter, I made her tell me which letter it was and then she could cut the dough. 



What I learned was that she really knew more than she'd let on.... When cookies are involved, who wouldn't learn their letters quicker?

When we took the cookies out of the oven, we sprinkled rainbow decorating sugar on top. And, before she could eat any cookie, she had to tell me again which letter it was.
