Put some snow on a cookie sheet. Using cookie cutters create different shapes. Sprinkle the snow cookies with birdseed.
Place your cookie sheet into a pretend oven outdoors - we used the picnic table but if you had more snow you could dig a small cave for a fun outdoor oven and add stones or sticks for pretend on/off or temperature buttons.
Once the cookies were done, she took them out of the "oven".
Then onto the snow to serve to the birds.
This activity encourages:

these are lovely & what a great idea for playing outside on a snowy day - looks like everyone was happy with that outcome. Thanks so much for linking up this week, Kierna
