"Would you like some cookie with your icing?"

My over used, not-so-funny joke during our cookie decorating activity this week in celebration of Easter.

I know that baking and decorating sweets will always make for a messy but enjoyable art table at Junior OSC and as Easter was nearing, why not! Sorry parents, I know, as if they weren't already going to be spoiled and 'tummy-aching' from chocolate this long weekend. Instead of baking cookies, I went ahead and baked some really quick flower shaped sugar cookies on my own to create a blank canvas for our little Picassos. Some white frosting mixed with neon food dye, sprinkles and a handful of skittles were all we needed to occupy them for a whole half hour. Unsurprisingly, some kids preferred a 3:1 icing to cookie ratio - AKA a whole lotta icing, while others were more conservative, carefully icing each petal a different colour.
