2. Decorate the cookies anyway you wish.

This is such a fun book and kids like to hear it over and over.  It's a great way to talk about body parts if your child needs to learn those words.  It's also a good time to talk about clothing and colors if you need to learn those concepts.  It's fun to make cookies that look like family members or favorite super heroes or even occupations.  But the best part is eating the cookie at the end of the story.  Snip, snap, snout....this tale's told out!
