For our stART (story + art) project today, we read Harvest Time by Mercer Mayer. Since it is a "First Readers" book, and contains a nice list of story related words to learn, we decided to recreate the list with sugar cookie letters.

The more we mixed, and rerolled the dough, the more the colors mixed together, until finally, we had a solid, sort of cranberry color.

We baked the letters, and a few leaf shaped cookies, and hopefully this afternoon, we'll practice vocabulary, and then have a snack. I sampled a leaf, just to make sure the flavors worked together, and I think I have a new favorite fall cookie - yum!

It's great to be a homeschooler.

WOW! Can we come to your house for your next stART?! This is so fun.
I LOVE all that you did!
What a yummy craft. I haven't made letters out of cookies yet. Someday, I have the cookie cutters.
Great idea! I have been wanting to buy some letter cookie cutters, I've seen them everywhere, but I'm waiting to see if I can find some lowercase ones as well.
What a yummy idea! Now I am hungry for cookies.
That's a tasty way to learn your words :) We like Little Critters stories here too. To answer your question about our colored water project - no, she would fill her dropper with a colored water and then share "the medicine" with different animals :)
This is such a great project...I love art and baking!!! Thank you for linking up :0)
I totally forgot about those little books!!!!
They were my very favorite to read to myself when I was a kid!
