Gramma in a Box Thanksgiving Sweet Projects

Celebrating fall with a delicious Thanksgiving from Gramma!



 The temperatures have become cooler here. The mornings are chilly but it warms up enough in the afternoon for a nice outdoor run. With the holidays coming up, I have been quite busy with my website so it has been hard to find time with the boys. So I love when Gramma sends a box of goodies so I can create some sweet treats with my boys. The best part is everything that we need to decorate cookies and make some fun treats is in the box. I am glad that Gramma put this awesome box together so I can have some quality time with my boys that require no running to the store to get the ingredients so we can make cookies. I don't have to make a mess in the kitchen and we can get to the fun part of making cookies, the decorating and eating! My boys and I sure do love making cookies.

The monthly Gramma in a Box includes cookies, frosting, and sprinkles



 This months box of treats was perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. I knew that the treats were going to taste so delicious, as this is the third box that the boys have received. Previous boxes that the boys made goodies with were a fun emoji cookie box and an ocean-themed treat box. I think the best part of these delicious sweet activity boxes is the yummy cookies that come in them. These cookies also come with three colors of ready to use frosting tubes so the boys can get to the fun right away. The treat boxes come with all the ingredients that we need to make three treats and they are all individually packaged in small containers. The recipe cards are easy for my boys to follow and they could make the treats without my help but I always join in on the fun as I like making cookies with them.

Plenty of treats to share

 There is always plenty of delicious treats so after the boys make the goodies, they share them with mom and dad. The boys and I agree that the best part of making cookies is the eating. My youngest loves to eat all the leftover frosting. The Gramma Boxes are always a great way to spend some time with my boys.

The Best Educational & Fun Gifts For Babies & Toddlers

Check out my favorite holiday gifts for my grandbaby.


          I received samples of toys to facilitate this post.

  This Christmas is going to be so exciting with the newest member of the family. It will be so fun to spoil my new grandbaby with lots of toys. This will be the baby's first Christmas so it will be all so new to her. I am so happy that my daughter will be living in Albuquerque. This grandma already has a collection of toys stored away for future holidays and birthdays. My granddaughter may not be ready for some of these toys but I wanted to share them with readers who have toddlers.

The best gifts are ones that teach through play

  I think most toys are teaching baby's something as they are always learning new things. The gifts that I selected as my favorites are great teaching through play toys. I like these toys as they bright and colorful. They also teach little one's things like ABC's, numbers, colors, reading and more. These are also toys that give children many years of play, especially the ABC's toys as it can teaching them colors, matching, reading, and even writing skills.

  The VTECH® Touch & Discover Sensory Turtle™ can be enjoyed by babies as early as three months so this will be a perfect toy for my new granddaughter this Christmas as she will be almost 4 months by then.
