Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.
Book: The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins. We have a BIG BOOK version of this story.
Rhyme: Making Cookies Chant by Jean Warren.
First we add the butter and we mash it, mash it.
Then we add the sugar and we blend it, blend it.
Then we add the eggs and we whip it, whip it.
Then we add the flour and we stir it, stir it.
Then we make a ball and we roll it, roll it.
Then we choose a cutter and we cut it, cut it.
Then we set out a cookie sheet and we place it, place it.
Then we bake it in the oven and we smell it, smell it.
Then we set it on a rack and we cool it, cool it.
Then we pop it in our mouth and we eat it, eat it.
Book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff; illustrated by Felicia Bond. We have some great little props which we used to tell the story, in place of the actual book. As always, this is a real crowd-pleaser.
Song: C is for Cookie from any number of Sesame Street cds. We gave each child a die-cut “C” to hold up while they sang this song. Also, we used a Cookie Monster puppet along with some magnetic pictures and the chalkboard.
Book: The Cow Loves Cookies by Karma Wilson; illustrated by
Marcellus Hall. We used a cow puppet to help tell this story.Activity: Hello, My Name Is Joe. We modified the pizza version of this story to make it work for our cookie theme.
Puppet Show: The Gingerbread Man
Final Activity: We had the children follow the Gingerbread Man’s footprints to the Craft Room where they got to decorate their own gingerbread cookies.
