Cookie Face!
In the story "The Case of the Musical Cinnamon Buns," by a kid from New Jersey named Hannah, some cinnamon buns come to life (and sing). This got us thinking: what delicious treats could WE bring to life??
We have a cinnamon bun recipe from America’s Test Kitchen here. If it’s easier, we have a recipe to bake some cinnamon sugar cookies below instead! Get a grownup to help, and download our recipe to bake your own cookies at home (see above for where to download).
Once you make the cookies, and apply some icing, next you can stick on some decorations to bring the cookies to life. Get some fruit, or sprinkles, or little pieces of candy, or any other toppings you want, and give each cookie a face. Make some happy cookies! Silly cookies! Singing cookies! Make some cookie people! Cookie animals! Cookie aliens!
And then...grownups can share your creations with us using the form below. We want to see what you come up with!
Our incredible designer, Camilla Franklin, illustrates one of the stories from each podcast episode. This week, we wanted to provide Creator Club members with a coloring activity based on her illustration for "The Case of the Musical Cinnamon Buns!" Hopefully, this will provide a fun bonus activity for your creators to enjoy while listening to the episode!
