Learning and fun go hand-in-hand with these thematically organized story time programs that are linked to adorable, edible crafts.There are kids' cookbooks and there are books with story time suggestions, but no book has combined the two-until now.
Story Times Good Enough to Eat!: Thematic Programs with Edible Story Crafts brings these elements together in programs that will engage kids and make every story time special.
Both a manual and a recipe book,
Story Times Good Enough to Eat! offers thematic programs for major holidays and seasons and includes programs on popular animals and other themes as well. It is designed to educate children by having them listen to the story, then reinforcing the lessons of the story by creating an edible craft to go along with it. Every theme in the book includes a suggested titles list, a brief overview of the program, and a complete recipe and instructions for making the corresponding snack/craft, from yummy school bus cupcakes to mouth-watering sugar cookie sombreros for Cinco de Mayo.
