Today, of course, is Friday, which means it’s cooking day! The cooking activity is pretty straightforward….just make a batch of sugar cookies with your students. You can make them from scratch, use a mix, or just make them from a roll…your kids won’t care! I would be willing to bet that they won’t care if you use cookie cutters to cut them into holiday shapes or if you just make simple, round cookies. They will just be happy to be able to handle the ingredients and the dough (with clean hands, of course!), smell it, and taste it once it has baked! After baking the cookies, let your students ice them with colorful icing and sprinkle them with green, red, and white sprinkles. Yum!
Since the art activity is 2-steps….you could actually carry the decorating into your fine motor activity. Once your students have finished decorating and eating their cookies, you can hand out the lacing cards and have your students lace them.
