I love that the puffed pastry comes scored in 3 sections which made it easy to create twelve squares. Little miss two needed a lot of help with this but she enjoyed it at the same time.
Captain America came to help bake today! 🙂
What toddler doesn’t love to paint? This was a great part of the project, it was messy and fun.
All ready to go into the oven! I can’t wait to make these again! For another delicious dessert you could cook with your toddler try my Aunt Merlene’s Fresh Strawberry Pie.
