I have been going to make maple leaf cookies for about 10 years now…something tells me this is not the year! 🙂
You could buy ready-made cookie dough, and use a maple leaf cookie cutter. It’s not that hard really. Of course, with a new baby, everything is hard…
This is such a great list Susan! I look forward to doing several of these each year!
We had a lot of fun doing each of these activities!
Heya.
We have some nice pumpkins instead in order to use. I prefer instead to buy two or three big pumpkins at a local garden centre all on the cheap. And we use them in cookery lessons in addition to teach the children basic skills. Best of luck. I recommend looking up different recipes to start with. Your best bet is to try a pumpkin patch as well.
Kids do like cooking lessons!
