This video may help grown-ups in sharing about hard history topics in an age appropriate way. For the Martin Luther King holiday try a hands on approach by exploring with clay or play dough. A great place to start is by sharing that MLK Jr. worked hard to bring all different types of people together. In this song are a few fun facts about his life.

The How To:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F, grease a round 9-inch cake pan.

  2. Making The Dough~ Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & salt together. Add the egg, buttermilk, & melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. Dough will be very soft and slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky and won’t roll, add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until dough seems workable. Do not add more flour than you need; a soft dough is good.

  3. Place dough on a floured work surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 10×14-inch rectangle.

  4. Fill the rolls~Spread softened butter all over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle all over the top. Roll it up tightly into a 14-inch log. Cut into 12 rolls.

  5. Bake for 22–26 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.

  6. Make the icing~ In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the butter and beat until smooth and combined, then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla until combined.

  7. Spread the icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately. 

  8. Grab yours before they’re all gone!
