‘Tis the season for cozy sweaters and fuzzy slippers!
If the wind is howling and it’s a little chilly in your house today, we have an ABC Snack recipe that is sure to get you all warm and “toasty.” (Yes, that pun was intended!)
Our Polar Bear Toast recipe is easy to make, but is wholesome and hearty enough to be part of your little one’s lunch or breakfast on a blustery day.
This papa polar bear and his roly-poly twins are going to work their way right into your child’s heart … and her tummy.
And while you’re working on this fun, hands-on snack together, you might learn a little about polar bears, too! Did you know that polar bears often give birth to sets of twins?
