BOOKIE DOUGH PARTY

Eat, Read, Love

Why play this way?

This activity brings Bookie & Cookie to life by celebrating cookies, books, and friendship. Reading favorite books and baking cookies allows your little one to experience the fun of building connections through shared interests. Baking together offers a hands-on way to connect with this beautiful story, strengthening math skills and teamwork through shared play. Exploring the book’s hidden details adds another layer of discovery, making their bond with the story—and with friends—even more meaningful. Party on!

FEATURING SONGS ABOUT books & cookies

Play!

Bake Snickerdoodle cookies.

While your cookies bake and cool, re-read Bookie & Cookie and explore the details in the pictures.

  • Can you spot the little creature that appears throughout the book? What do you think it is? Is it on every page?

Once your cookies are ready, bring them–and your favorite books–to your party spot.

Later, create your own art to remember your colorful nature walk, just like Benjamin at the end of the story.

Eat while you read & read while you eat!

associated activities are amazing!
"They not only help my grandson see the relationship between an exciting subject and the real-world principles involved, but they also strongly personalize the experience for him. He learns that reading is fun, and that learning satisfies his natural curiosity."

Looking forward to gifting these again!
"I have always gifted books at birthdays and these felt like a natural extension of the gifts I already give. It's nice to also be able to give my friends something that comes with additional activities they may not have thought to do."
