Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Holes
INGREDIENTS
1 package (5.5 oz) baking mix
4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3+ cup of hot water - I ended up adding about an extra tablespoon to the dough
vegetable oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large skillet, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, stir together the baking mix, remaining tablespoon of sugar and hot water until a dough forms.
4. Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip.
5. Pipe tablespoon size balls of dough into the hot oil. You will probably have to use a knife or scissors to cut the dough.
6. Allow to cook until golden brown, flipping over frequently. Mine took about 1 - 2 minutes to cook.
7. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
8. While the doughnut holes are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
9. Serve warm.

The Alphabet Box
SUPPLIES
1 empty wipes container, cleaned
1 package foam letters & numbers - I used Munchkin BathTub Letter & Numbers (found @ Target)
Decorations of Choice (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Simply add your chosen letters and numbers to the wipes container - the whole pack will not fit. I decided to use the letters that spell out Princess P's first and middle names, the M for mom, the D for dad (the o & a were already included with her name) and the number 1 since that's her current age.
I stenciled out the ABC on the front and used acrylic paint to fill in
Princess P loved this activity! She loved being able to pull the letters out of the lid and it gave us the opportunity to talk about letters, numbers and learning her name!
