Be on the lookout for fun pictures that you find in magazines and newspapers. Cut these out and keep them in an old shoe box or ice-cream bucket then let kids pick out three pictures each. Ask them to make up a story that involves each of the pictures that they have chosen. Bake and decorate cookies. Make multicolored frosting using a few drops of food coloring mixed with plain white icing.
Kids can use toothpicks to decorate the cookies.
Don't forget to supply them with plenty of sprinkles.
