Brain Building Activity
Maria Cookies are crisp and crunchy! While your cookies are baking, take turns with your child naming another favorite food and describing its texture with as many words as you each can think of Crackers? They are crunchy and hard. Pasta? It’s soft, slippery, and smooth. (Ages 3–5 years old)
