5 Fun Cookies To Make With Kids –

I think baking is one of the best activities to do with a child, so I bake often with my children and their friends. Not only does it create wonderful memories, it’s also a great learning experience since it incorporates math, science, and art. If you are in need of some ideas, here are 5 fun cookies to make with kids.
