Prompt: December 4

As a young little frog, I sat on a log.
A Bûche de Noël, which we baked in the bog.
A yummy Yule log made of icing and cake,
that we made every winter, with extra to take
and to share with our friends to spread our good cheer.
Is there something your family makes special here?
Let’s think up a holiday treat we can share
To show someone special just how much we care.

Activity

With your kiddos, talk about your family traditional foods for this time of year. What do you love to make and eat for special occasions? Is there something you share, or bring to friends and neighbors? We love to make these Brown Butter Stamp Cookies, and we use snowflake stamps to make them extra special. They’re delicious, only slightly sweet, and they travel well and look harder than they are to make. Once you’ve talked through the options, and shared your best memories of them, put on your aprons and make your favorite holiday treat, with extra to share. If you don’t have time today, schedule a cooking date with your kiddos. Bon appétit!
