These doggy cookies are special as they are made by little chefs from preschool kids. Once a month we have the opportunity to spend time with Kuching Little Learnerspreschool kids. A team called Loving Mama, members of mothers who volunteer to conduct activities for the kids. Activities like storytelling, hands crafts and this time is baking. Despite let kids having fun we like to convey good manners among them.
In conjunction of Mother's and Teacher's Day we involved kids in making cookies. Then, they present the cookies to their mothers and teachers. The kids are happy while working on the doggy cookies. We Loving Mama Team had great time too.
