Decorated Cookies
So we are all basically quarantined home for the Corona Virus and looking for some fun activities to keep the kids smiling! The family that decorates cookie together….has fun together! This idea was my oldest son’s and it was a fabulous idea! Just whip up some basic sugar cookies as the canvas, some royal icing colors to paint with and get creative! Sprinkles and candies for the top are optional and definitely don’t hurt! You can even choose theme for your cookies like emojis or just make it open ended allowing everyone to be creative.
