This afternoon, Yisrael's best friend Yisrael Meir Ratner came by, so I decided to do another baking activity with the kids. This time, we made hot pretzels. (I like to do baking with the kids because its a controlled activity that keeps them all pretty busy, with minimal mess involved. And having something yummy to snack on is always an added bonus!)
First everyone had lots of fun shaping their dough into different shapes- traditional pretzels (Yisrael is REALLY good at it), cars, mountains, faces, snails, snakes, circles, sticks, etc. Each kid ended up making a few different ideas before settling on their final version. Poor Naftali was very upset that I wouldn't let him have some (he eats raw dough) and was begging everyone to share theirs with him!
Once the pretzels were out of the oven, everyone gobbled them up - they were YUMMY! And since they were half whole wheat, I didn't feel too bad if they filled up too much before supper!
(Can you guess who made these?! )
