We know how much you enjoyed the last issue's Christmas cookie
recipe, so here's another way to keep the children busy over the Easter period. These are really quick
and easy to put together. Remember to keep young ones safe when the oven is on and when using any utensils
that may be dangerous. Why not make some for your next cluster meeting, or have the children share some with their school
friends?
