One of my very favourite things to do for Christmas when I was a kid was decorating sugar cookies! My mother used to make rolled & cut sugar cookies by the pan and give us pale pink and green frosting along with those little silver balls to decorate and it was total awesome-sauce for us kids! I honestly dont know a kid alive who doesnt love decorating cookies…even if its only for 5 mintues before they run off to play. I though that COOKIE DECORATING KITS IN A CUP would be perfect for kids AND busy moms!
These kits are not hard to put together at all! You don’t even need to bake anything if you don’t have time.
Here’s what you will need:
Small sugar cookies, homemade or bought
Small tube of decorating gel {very inexpensive $1.50 each, or you could also use homemade icing in a small food bag and then snip the corner to use it.}
Small bag of sprinkles {I made my own little bag with sprinkles and small food bags.}
Paper cups
Directions: All you need to do is to put a couple of sugar cookies in a cup, along with some decorating gel and some sprinkles and the kit is complete!
Then wrap them in cellophane wrap, and finish with a little ribbon and a tag…perfect for gift-giving!
How cute would this be for a Christmas party or Christmas activity for kids?
And I think it would be so awesome for a kids’ together with their cousins or friends and everyone should be very happy with their own little kit. And what a lovely gift this would make for a busy mom with kids. It could be an activity that she could enjoy & relax with them without having to do anything! Just give each child a small plate for their cookies, let them squeeze out the gel and decorate away.
And really, how cute is the packaging too?
So if you are looking for a small gift to give to a few kids in your life, this might be the perfect bit of homemade and fun that any child would love to receive!

These aren't regular cups right? They look shorter and just right. Where did you get them? What are they meant for? Thanks!
Such a good idea for a party, a class, or even a family get-together. I like that the cups aren't too big, because after finishing decorating, they're perfect for a kid's hot chocolate. Cheers to the holidays!
So cute! My girls would love to receive these!
Such a clever idea! Perfect for a Christmas school or family party. Thanks so much for sharing!
Happy Weekend!
