With Christmas fast approaching, most of us have a baking list a mile long!  So today, spend some time with your kiddo baking a pie--or several pies.  You can freeze them until you need them later this week.  :0)  But be sure to cut a slice or two for you and your kiddo to enjoy today too!!

-'P's in a pie game (cut 16 letter 'P's out of magazines and newspapers--try to use larger sized ones.  Place them into an empty pie pan.  Take the letter 'P's out of the pie pan one by one and glue them to a piece of construction paper.  Count them as you go, and then count them again when they are all glued to the paper. Write the number 16 somewhere on the paper, and then hang it on the wall.)
