Once Upon A Time Cookbook


As part of the fairy tale unit I developed, I had the students take home a recipe card and pick their favorite recipe and give it a name that had to do with their favorite fairy tale.

Once I had all the recipes I made it into a book with pictures and all.  The students handed out the book at fairy tale party!
