If little ones will be helping you decorate cookies this year, use baking sheets, muffin tins and parchment paper to organize your sprinkles and help prevent a sticky mess. A cheese shaker allows for more accuracy when sprinkling your cookies.
@sweetiesips Sharing my Christmas cookie decorating with kids hacks!! 1. Always have them decorate over a baking sheet, it catches most of the mess! 2. Pour sprinkles in a cupcake tin. They’ll love picking it up with their little fingers and you’ll love that more sprinkles end up on the cookies than the floor 😂 3. Using a reusable food pouch for frosting is SO much easier for kids than a pastry bag! No more icing squeezing out the wrong end. @sweetiesips are my fav and are sold on Amazon.com (will be available Prime any day now!) and available for order before Christmas with free shipping on sweetiesips.com ! What are your fav baking hacks with kids?? Messes mean memories are being made, but I know parents can use a little more energy during this time of the year- so hope this helps 😉 #parenthack #amazonfinds #amaonfavorites #babyamazonfinds #babyfinds #babymusthave #applesauce #babyledweaning #babyfoodrecipes #momhack #mompreneur #applepicking #healthylifestyle #ecofriendlyproducts #healthyrecipes #reusablebabypouches #reusable #parenting #shopsmall #christmascookies #babyledweaningideas #feedinglittles #christmas #babyfoodideas #toddlerlife #busymomhacks #founditonamazon #toddlerfoodideas ♬ Christmas song "Let's decorate" - 3KTrack
