• If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Activity 1 | Make Cookies!

Seems easy enough! I probably do this on a weekly basis with my littles! Why not incorporate it into learning time. My favorite cookie recipe: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip OR these Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

Activity 2 | Counting Cookies

Cut 10 circles out of construction paper and label cookies 1-10. Then have your child put the correct amount of chocolate chips on the ‘cookie’ to match the number. A great way to practice counting!

Free printable that will help your little practice counting via a simple and fun cut and paste activity.
