Making "sugar cookie" tablets

Well, we are in the midst of learning about ancient Greece.  One of the activities I wanted dd1 to try was making a clay tablet with Greek writing.  Of course, to make the whole experience better for her, we made our "tablet" out of sugar cookie dough.  (School is always much more exciting when there's cookies involved)


She's studying the lapbook she's making to figure out how
to write the letters in her name, as well as some other words.


The finished product, pre-baked.  It says "Lydia, cat, gap, Lord".
Tilt your head, because this picture is rotated...oops!

 I didn't get any pictures taken after baking...they were excellent cookies!  They didn't last long, unfortunately.  Next week we learn about Alexander the Great.  I hope my dd's enjoy history as much as I am!
