Joel and Chalice used to inhale graham crackers. I haven’t bought them in a while. My dear friend, Dana, gave us some animal cookie cutters for Christmas that I’ve been wanting to use. Today I promised Joel that we could make some graham crackers after our walk and after his nap. Joel loves helping me bake. A 5 gallon wheat bucket makes a great little stool for him. He poured in most of the dry ingredients and then went to town cutting out camels, elephants, pigs, giraffes, donkeys, and kangaroos. I dusted them with a little cinnamon before baking them. Yum yum!

Oh, I’m so glad Joel is having fun baking with you. Animal shape food is very exciting to a youngster! What a fun way to share some time together. Glad you like the cookie cutters
