This Week’s
Cooking Project
“Read Across America”
“Hugs & Kisses”
Dr. Seuss’ 109th Birthday!
This Thursday,
we baked hugs and
kisses out of
dough. After
talking about
signing cards
with XOXO, we
rolled a dough
ball into a
snake. Each
child decided
whether they
wanted to make a
“hug” or a
“kiss”. They
formed the dough
on a cookie sheet
and baked them 14
minutes. Then we
frosted them and
decorated with
sprinkles. XOXO
