Baking up the holidays with YLLC-Riverchase
December 13th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
What might be delicious, creative and full of holiday cheer? Why the Christmas cookie decorating at YLLC-Riverchase, of course! The center’s volunteers brought many sugar cookies to share with students, but were instructed to get crafty. Kids were given white icing in six different bowls, which the teachers filled with food coloring for various colors. This exercise gave students a chance to learn about primary colors –red, yellow, and blue– and shout out the guesses as to what secondary colors –orange, green and purple— would come of mixing them together. Then, the kids had a blast being creative and applying all the colored icing and sprinkles they could gather to decorate their own, unique holiday cookie!
“Can we eat it now?” asked Kelando Eubanks, seven-year-old YLLC student, shortly after decorating his cookie. Like the students at YLLC with excess icing on their chins, we wish all of our supporters alike a very merry Christmas. Watch more from our cookie decorating session here.
We hope you can join us for Thursday’s Christmas party at Bethel World Outreach Church at 6 p.m. to volunteer. Click here to read more.
