RECIPES TO MAKE WITH TODDLERS
Carrot Cookie Recipe
Before you start cooking let your kids play with carrots. How? Take a piece of paper and with a black marker draw a bubble letter capital and lower case C. Cut up some carrots in different shapes. You want to cut really thin slices and thin matchsticks for toddlers due to choking. Finely grate raw carrots for those less than 2.
Fill in the C with carrots! Snack on them as you play with them. Then, use them in the recipe below!
