One of our favorite things to do at the holidays is bake treats and then take them around to friends and neighbors. On Sunday my toddler helped her dad make peanut butter blossom cookies for a toddler caroling party we were hosting on Monday night. The treats were a hit and we've been enjoying the leftovers 🙂 I thought I'd share the recipe with you if you haven't made these before. My daughter loves adding the ingredients to the KitchenAid and unwrapping the Hershey's kisses is my son's favorite part of this activity!

Baking is one of my favorite ways to teach language skills and new vocabulary! It is also such a great activity for practicing conversational skills and learning about measurement... while also being so yummy!
