  • outnumberedmama Holiday Cookies are always fun. Every year for Christmas I let my little ones frost and decorate the plate of cookies for Santa - all by themselves. Sure they come out a little strange looking but they take great pride in the task. I think this year we might make a few extra cookies and take them into Daddy's work and maybe over to the neighbors. The most important thing about this concept is to LET THEM DO IT! If you "interfere" too much it will be obvious and lose the preciousness of taking a plate of cookies to Grandma's and your little ones being able to say I did it!

    • Becki I agree. The cookies are never going to come out looking like Martha Stewart's, even if you step in to "help." So, you might as well let the kids have at it, so they can have a great time and a great memory--and not feel like mom thought their work wasn't "good enough."

    • Brandie I look at it this way - cookies and frosting taste good no matter how they look! So let them go at it, let them have fun and just play around with it =)
