Planning the Cookie Decorating Party for Kids
The key to success is planning so that on the big day, your only worry is that everyone has fun. Here we share what you can’t miss:
1. Choose an appropriate date and time
Choose a time when kids are most active, like in the morning or after lunch, so they can have fun all day. Additionally, they will be able to enjoy the cookies they decorate without affecting their diet. Make sure there is enough time to decorate, play, and enjoy their creations.
2. Send creative invitations
You can make digital or printed invitations with a baking theme. At The Cookie Jar Kit, you can find magnificent ideas. It includes whether kids should bring aprons or if prizes will be given for the most original cookie.
3. Choose a theme
A party with an animal, rainbow, or favorite character theme will help you choose the decorations, guide the children on how they can decorate their cookies, and stimulate their imagination. The most important thing is that the children have fun, enjoy their creations, and can express themselves through a cookie.
