Weekend Project: Three Bears Bread

Instead of dinner and a movie this weekend, how about a book and some bread. I found this idea while clicking through a newsletter emailed to me by the folks at Highlights.com.  The recipe for Three Bears Bread uses frozen bread dough so you need a little advance planning for this project. The night before you want to make the bread with your children, put the frozen bread dough in the refrigerator to defrost.  For your bedtime story that night, share your favorite version of The Three Bears. I found 2,777 choices when I queried Amazon.com! If your child is just learning to count, check your library for Ten Bears in My Bed: A Goodnight Countdown by Stanley Mack for a fun variation of the story.
