SUMMARY:Food Group: The Smart Cookie (Ages 4-12)
DESCRIPTION:Program designed around The Food Group book series by Jory John\, written for an audience age 4-8. Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to join! \nToday we will be reading The Smart Cookie! This cookie has never felt like a smart cookie no matter how hard she tries\, especially in comparison to all the clever cupcakes and brilliant rolls in the bakery. Will a dash of creativity and a sprinkle of confidence be enough to help her learn that perfect scores and having all the answers aren’t the only ingredients for intelligence? \nCook\, read\, and explore with us in this deliciously fun program inspired by Jory John’s Food Group series\, one of our featured authors in our “Plant a Seed\, Read!” Summer Reading theme. This program will combine stories with simple snack-making. We’ll kick things off by washing hands and learning a few basic food safety tips\, because every great chef starts with good habits. Then\, we’ll introduce the day’s featured book\, and participants will create a themed snack inspired by the story. While our creations bake\, chill\, or come together\, we’ll gather for an interactive read-aloud of the book. Once everything is ready\, participants can enjoy their snack or take it to go\, along with a recipe card to try again at home. This program blends literacy\, hands-on learning\, and healthy habits\, helping prevent the “summer slide” while keeping kids thinking\, creating\, and having fun all summer long! \nPossible Allergens: recipe contains apple\, almond butter\, maple syrup\, vanilla extract\, coconut\, & chocolate \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. \nClick here to register.
