Celebrate Christmas with Cookies Unit Study E-book by Meredith Curtis

Is there anyone who doesn't love Christmas cookies?

This unit study, made with love, is jam-packed with mouth-watering, festive recipes to make and bake for Christmas. You will bake and freeze cookies and make cookies mixes in a jar to give as gifts.

The idea of doing unit studies for the month of December was a way to stretch out the celebration of Christmas because I just love Christmas and making memories with my little lambs. But, I also love to learn and this unit study is full of fun things to learn.

Each day you will do Christmas time devotions, sing some Christmas carols and read a beloved Christmas picture book. The picture books are not just great stories, but represent a wide variety of art work in the illustrations. As all picture books, they are a journey into the world of art, as well as storyland. Christmas carol lyrics are in the back of the unit study so that you can sing every day too. Many of the classic Christmas carols are filled with great things about Jesus and our relationship with Him! There are other activities too-poems to write, gifts to wrap, crafts, games, and parties to plan. Combine Christmas celebrating with learning to have a productive and pleasant holiday season. Enjoy!

Of course, the focus is on cookies, so get reading to learn the difference between baking soda and baking powder, as well as why cookies made with butter spread thinner. And by the way, how did cookies come to be part of our world?

Of course, this unit study is no longer mine as I give it to you. Please adapt it however you need to so that it will work for your family! Cut things out, add things in, and change the days around-it's yours now! I hope this will spark your own homemade Christmas unit studies in years ahead. Merry Christmas! Why not celebrate with cookies?
