You can even make extra letters to make new words, even the whole alphabet. I have done this project in my church with the 10-11 year old girls and they learned how to [...]

Actually, it can be made all year, not just for summer. It’s easy, fresh, and delicious. Oh, and healthy too, but who is caring about that! I make it for every get together and it’s a great side dish for anything.

I mean really Big books. I love these. They are large and in charge. I used in the classroom all the time (I taught Kindergarten for 4 years.) They help everyone see the page, they have large letters to work with, helping kids see the letters and learn the words easier. I did so many [...]
