Social Distancing day 38: Cookie sharing

There is a new Daniel Tiger episode where the kids make cookies, put them in paper boxes and then share them with their friends.  This is (of course) what Wren wanted to do.  I encouraged this idea as it is a way to connect with people, spreads some joy and takes a long time.

The boxes I learned how to make using a utube video.  I used Trader Joe grocery bags and had the kids draw on the boxes.  I wasn't able to make them good enough with the kids helping to have the lid that closed so I decided we should make them baskets instead so we re-used the grocery bag handle for a basket handle and it worked great.

I wrapped the cookies in some parchment paper to keep them clean and to keep the baskets from getting greasy looking.  The kids piled into the stroller and off we went.  They got to watch their one cartoon in the stroller on the way and then we switched to listening to an audible book (frog and toad).  The whole delivery process took a hour and 45 minutes and 3.6 miles.  The kids walked a little bit of the way but rode most of it.  Wren really enjoyed ringing the door bells but knew she had to step back once she did.  We had some fun yelling conversations with friends to maintain distancing practices.  I think we will do something for our friends again.  I feel like we achieved the goals of getting outside, spreading joy, and doing something fun.
