Christmas Cookie Baking with Kids
Kids of all ages love baking special Christmas cookies. Cookie baking doesn’t have to be complicated, and little hands can help in lots of ways. Even very young children can help cut out cookies with safe plastic cookie cutters, or add icing and sprinkles.
Older children can create their own gingerbread men and women, or go wild with a cookie decorating contest. The picture below are some of the sugar cookie creations my own kids made one year (at ages 5 and 4). While the cookies might not look perfect, they were so proud to give these to their teachers and our family members (and they tasted delicious).
