Activity Detail

Create a fun, fall-themed snack out of maple leaf shaped cookies or graham crackers. Add a few drops of food coloring to ready-made white frosting or cream cheese. See how many "fall" colors you and your child can create (all shades of browns, reds, oranges, yellows, and deep greens). Have your child create his or her fall snack by spreading the colored frosting/cream cheese onto the cookies with a spoon or child-safe utensil.
