Ingredients:
Mix shortening, sugar, one egg, and vanilla. Blend in flour, baking power, and salt. Cover; chill one hour. Roll dough into a long log that is 2-1/2 inches wide. Refrigerate one hour. Slice in 1/4 inch circles; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Paint cookies by mixing one egg yolk with 1/4 teaspoon water. Divide paint into three containers; add a drop of food coloring to each. Using small brushes, paint the cookies. Place a stick in the dough to create a "lollipop." Bake 6-8 minutes in a 400 degree oven. You can also use ready-made cookie rolls and frosting from the grocery store. |

Have fun reading or telling stories with your child. As your child is having fun hearing the stories, you are helping the child learn to think, and put ideas and words together. Use different voices for the characters in the book, use a puppet or a stuffed toy to tell the story, or let your child "read" the book to you by looking at the pictures and making up the story.
