Gather cookie cutters that are representative of various holidays (a dreidel, a wreath, a bell, a piata, and so on). Invite children to choose a cookie cutter and to cut a shape from a piece of bread. Mix together 2 eggs, 1/2-cup milk, a dash of cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Dip each shape into the egg mixture and cook it in a greased frying pan or griddle until golden brown. Serve to children with warm maple syrup. Yum!
