Witches Hat Cookies
By Linette Gerlach
Witches hat cookies are great fun for your preschooler to help make, and eat. Serve them with a scoop of ice cream on the side for a really delicious treat. Baking is a great way to introduce your preschooler to measuring and fractions. Explain some of the measurements in simple terms, it may not sink in now but it will give your preschooler a reference for future learning.
