Five Little Christmas Cookies

Cut five cookies shapes from felt (and then put them on a flannel board) or cut them from card stock and use them as cards. Cut one each of white, green, yellow, brown, and red. Pick Christmas shapes for this time of the year. Other times cut different cookie shape and drop the Christmas word from the story so it just reads; five little cookies.  As you and the kids recite the poem below. let the children take turns removing the colored cookies.

Five little Christmas cookies

With frosting galore,

Mother ate the white one

And then there were four

Four little Christmas cookies

Two and two, you see

Father ate the green one.,

And then there were three

Three little Christmas cookies, 

But before I knew.

Sister ate the yellow one,

And then there were two

Two little cookies,

Oh, what fun.

Brother ate the brown one,

And then there was one

One little Christmas cookie,

Watch me run.

I ate the red one,

And then there were none.
