\u00A0I let the kids pick the colors for our batter. \u00A0Little M started with red and then asked to add blue. . .great set up for a little color mixing.\n\nAfter they stirred for a bit, I let them have a handful of sprinkles. \u00A0Doesn\u2019t it look like they are in a stirring race?\n\nAfter we put the cookies in the oven (make sure to read the recipe carefully on how to bake these) it was time to do some folding. \u00A0 \u00A0They need to be folded right out of the oven and then placed on the side of a coffee mug. \u00A0I was hoping the kids could fold a few, but if the cookies cool at all they break instead of bend. \u00A0So I let Little M hold the camera instead. \u00A0Pretty good for an almost 4 year old!\n\nHere they are, ready to \u00A0go. \u00A0The plan was to pass them out to the neighbors as a Valentine surprise. \u00A0But it\u2019s rest time now, I\u2019m sitting with a cup of coffee and a quiet house and so, well you know. . . we may need to bake more tomorrow!\n\nQuestion (to ask your kids): Whenever you cook with your kids you are exposing them to science. \u00A0Really pay attention to how things change through the cooking process. \u00A0\u201CHow does the butter feel, just out of the fridge? \u00A0What do you think will happen if I put it over a flame? \u00A0Why does it look this way now? \u00A0Can you think of something else that changes when it\u2019s heated up?\u201D\nTips(to maximize learning): \u00A01. \u00A0The folding part was not hard, but it did take some practice. \u00A0Try only baking four cookies on the first round. \u00A0Once they are cooling put in a few more. \u00A0That way you can play around with circle size. \u00A02. \u00A0 I had M and M cut out their strips. . .anytime you can work on those fine motor skill take it!\nMore Valentine Fun\nValentine Hopping Game for Toddlers\nHomemade Valentine Cards\nDIY Valentine Cards for School\n\n\nRelated PostsSweetheart Smores + 10 More Valentine Treatsstore bought VALENTINE braceletsBook Review ~ VALENTINE\u2019S Day specialBALLOON storytellingtwister with SIGHT WORDS\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n\t\t\t\t\t$('#facebook-after-1116').sharrre({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  share: {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    facebook: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  urlCurl: 'http://amomwithalessonplan.com/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-share/lib/sharrre/sharrre.php',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableHover: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableTracking: true,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  buttons: {  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  click: function(api, options){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.simulateClick();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.openPopup('facebook');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n$('#pinterest-after-1116').sharrre({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  share: {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    pinterest: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  urlCurl: 'http://amomwithalessonplan.com/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-share/lib/sharrre/sharrre.php',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableHover: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableTracking: true,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  buttons: {  pinterest: { media: 'http://amomwithalessonplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/homemade-fortune-cookies-for-kids.jpg', description: 'Homemade fortune cookies perfect for Valentines' } },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  click: function(api, options){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.simulateClick();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.openPopup('pinterest');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n$('#googleplus-after-1116').sharrre({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  share: {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    googlePlus: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  urlCurl: 'http://amomwithalessonplan.com/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-share/lib/sharrre/sharrre.php',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableHover: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableTracking: true,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  buttons: {  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  click: function(api, options){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.simulateClick();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.openPopup('googlePlus');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n$('#twitter-after-1116').sharrre({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  share: {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    twitter: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  urlCurl: 'http://amomwithalessonplan.com/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-share/lib/sharrre/sharrre.php',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableHover: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  enableTracking: true,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  buttons: {  twitter: { via: 'lessonplanmom' } },\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  click: function(api, options){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.simulateClick();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    api.openPopup('twitter');\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\n\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\n"@en-us
