Preschool kids and fun foods go together like peanut butter
and jelly! I love to make soft pretzels as an easy snack. When you let your
preschooler shape them into alphabet letters, they are twice as fun. Make the
simple dough using the recipe listed below. You don’t need to let them rise. As
soon as the dough is finished, spray the counter with PAM and give your child a
piece of dough just smaller than a golf ball. Let your child roll it out onto
the counter with their hands until it makes a long snake. Decide what alphabet
letter you want to shape together. Your child can spell out his name or the
first letter of every family member or a sight word you are working on together.
Once your child has made a letter, transfer it to a greased cookie sheet. Brush
with water and sprinkle with kosher salt. Then bake at 425 degrees for about 15
minutes until lightly browned. Dip in melted cheese or ranch dressing or a jam
or peanut butter dip. Yum!
