Scars tell a story
Children's Activity
Object:
Materials:
Oven or toaster oven
Rolls of sugar cookie dough
Rolling pin
Circle cookie cutter (optional)
Plastic knife
Hard candies (Lifesavers or Jolly Ranchers) in a variety of colors
Plastic bags, one for each color of candy
Cookie sheets
Pot holders
Foil
Directions:
Just like Thomas, sometimes we want to see to believe. Tell the children that the materials you have will make glass they can eat. Most likely, they won't believe you without proof.
Roll the cookie dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles (or use the cookie cutter) and place on a foil-lined cookie sheet.
Using a plastic knife, allow the children to cut the centers out, leaving a small open area in each cookie.
Place one color of candy into each bag and smash with the rolling pin. Have the children put the crushed candy into the centers of the cookies. The children may use two or three colors and sprinkle them in separate areas of the centers.
Bake the cookies on the foil for eight to ten minutes at 375 degrees or until lightly browned. Once cooled, the cookies will peel off the foil and look like stained-glass windows.
