Friday Book Project--The Door Bell Rang

Thank you Sandy for hosting another Friday Book Project.

WE LOVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. Really, who doesn't? So this was a book little guy could relate to.

The Door Bell Rang

The mom in the story has just made a plate of cookies for brother and sister to share. Just as they are sitting down with their cookies the doorbell rings, now they have to divide their cookies evenly to share with their friend. But wait, not so fast, Just as they divide the cookies...yes you guessed it THE DOOR BELL RANG!! This keeps happening until every one has only one cookie. Who's at the door now? Should they answer it? What a surprise when they answer the door to find Grandma with a great big plate of cookies to share!!



This book offers the opportunity to talk about sharing, counting, division and cooking. We made our favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies . I took out 6 cookies to share and we set the table with 2 plates and divided the cookies. What would happen if 1 friend came to join us? We added one more plate and divided the cookies. Now, what would happen if 3 more friends came to join us? This time we added 3 plates (so that we had 6 plates all together), and divided the cookies. This activity can be made as challenging as you would like, Little Guy is only 3 so we kept it simple

Check back next week for more related activities.


Fancy that, a good book and warm cookies!!
