DIY Christmas Cookie Plates
I always strive to create gifts for parents that are going to be both meaningful and useful. One of my all-time favorites was the year that my students made plates for their cookies for Santa. I found 65 cent plates at our local glass factory outlet and we decorated them with special ceramic paints. Here are some ideas for your own Christmas Cookie plates: Sharpie Cookie Plates Handprint Cookie Plates Snowman Plates Dear Santa Plate How many cookie plates for Santa does one family need, because I’m feeling crafty!

Family Engagement – Cookie Night
It’s not the holiday season without cookies – no matter which winter holiday your family celebrates, there is likely a traditional favorite cookie (or sweet pastry) for it. A great way to explore cultures and family traditions is to invite all of your families for a cookie night. Ask each family to bring a tray of cookies to share with everyone, along with a card describing why these are a family favorite. Gather copies of some of the following books that parents can read to their children as they enjoy sweet treats (links are affiliates): Christmas Cookies Gingerbread Baby A Cookie for Santa For more great ideas for cookie night,…

Friday Freebie – Christmas Cookie Counting
Happy Friday! I must have Christmas cookies on the brain, last week I shared a freebie and activities from the holiday cookie party I threw for my kiddos last year.

There are two sets of plates, one with dots that correspond to the number to help children count correctly, and one set without the dots to challenge counters with higher level skills. The freebie includes numbers 1-5, if you want more practice, I’ve included the numbers 1-10 in…

Holiday Cookie Party Recap
Before officially finishing up at school before the holidays, we had a great big holiday cookie party. I shared my plans in this post, but I also promised to share photos from the party, so here they are! For table activities we had cookie patterning, a freebie that I downloaded from Stuff from Steff. I also made gingerbread play dough, and set out cookie cutters and rolling pins to encourage gingerbread cookie making! The last of my table activities was my gingerbread lacing cookies (find out how to make these here). While some of the kiddos were doing table activities, others were baking up a storm in the cookie shop…
