Easy and Convenient
One of the best things about Christmas Cookie Decorating Kits is how easy and convenient they are.
All the supplies you need to make beautiful cookies are included in the kit – from the cookie cutters to the icing and sprinkles – so you don’t have to worry about gathering everything on your own.
This makes it easy to get started and saves you time. It’s also a great way to avoid the mess that comes with everything scattered all over the kitchen.
Another advantage of having a Christmas Cookie Decorating Kit is that you can customize the cookies to suit your tastes, the theme of your party or for any preferences/needs (e.g. gluten-free, vegan or other dietary requirements).
You can pick your preferred cookie flavors and then decorate them with icing, sprinkles, and other edible toppings.
The possibilities are endless, and you’re able to make fun shapes like Christmas trees or snowmen cookies.
If you’re planning a Christmas party, a cookie decorating activity is an excellent option.
Kids and adults alike will love being creative and it will give you time to finish preparing the food or enjoy the festivities while the guest are entertained.
Your kit can come with enough supplies to let a group all decorate a set amount of cookies so everyone gets to enjoy the experience.
Finally, Christmas Cookie Decorating Kits are usually very affordable.
You can find kits from various vendors, ranging from budget to more expensive options that are a bit more elaborate or have more decorations to choose from.
Whatever your budget, however, you’ll be able to find something that works for you and won’t break the bank.
There is no reason not to order a Christmas Cookie Decorating Kit for your kids or parties and events this holiday season.
With affordable options available, customized cookies with endless possibilities, bonding with family and friends and easy clean up convenience, it is a win-win situation and a great way to spread the holiday cheer.
Don’t hesitate to order your kit today, the possibilities of fun have just begun!
Grab a few pine cones on your next nature walk! This Pine Cone Apple Tree craft for kids is super easy and fun to make.
When I was a little girl, it was a dream of mine to pick apples from a real apple tree! My dad grew one of the biggest and best gardens that I can remember.
In this garden, I remember that he could grow just about anything. However, apple trees just didn’t grow very well where I lived in Texas.
Fast forward to my mid 30s. I moved to Washington State. My dream of seeing and picking real apples from an apple tree came true! We had apple trees that grew around us in our neighborhood.
We didn’t even have to seek out orchards to pick apples. I was so excited that I was finally able to pick fresh apples (my favorite fruit!) from the trees around the area.
This year, I created a cute craft to share with you that’s simple to make with the kids! Create a Pine Cone Apple Tree using pine cones that you can find on your next nature walk around your area!
Create an entire apple orchard from pine cones if you’d like! For this craft, I made two apple trees to share with you.
While you are here, enjoy this free printable apple activity pack below!
Pine Cone Apple Tree
Supplies:
Pine Cones
Green Craft Paint
Red Pom Poms
Mini Logs
Paint Brush
Paper Plate
Hot Glue Gun and glue sticks
Directions:
Prepare your pine cones. If you are creating this craft indoors, it’s best (but optional) to prepare your pine cones before crafting.
Washing the pine cones can remove dirt and other debris, bugs and other little critters, mold or mildew, spider webs, and more.
You can wash the pine cones in water. Just remember, pine cones do like to close when wet.
After washing your pine cones, place the pine cones back in a warm or hot location and wait for the pine cones to open back up.
You can also bake your pine cones for about 20-30 minutes at 200 degrees fahrenheit.
Paint the pine cones with the green craft paint. Set the pine cones aside to dry completely.
Place the red pom poms (apples) inside the pine cone. Leave a little space between the pom poms.
Glue is not necessary, but you can use glue if your pom poms are loose.
The pom poms below stay inside the pine cones I chose with no issues.
Use the glue from the hot glue gun to attach the mini logs at the bottom of the painted pine cones.
Your apple trees are ready to display around your home or classroom this fall season!
Create this Melted Bead Suncatcher Apple Craft from melted beads and display it in your home or classroom for the fall or back to school season!
There are a lot of fun ways to use pony beads! Many kids love to string them to make jewelry, friendship bracelets, or keychains. You can also use them to create pony bead animals with elastic string or cord.
If you are looking for an apple craft to make for the fall or back to school season, create these apple suncatchers made with melted beads! This is just another fun way to use pony beads.
These bright and beautiful suncatchers are perfect to display in a window in your home where the sun shines through to catch a glimpse of it’s red and green colors!
Note: Please be aware that the beads do release plastic smells/fumes as they melt. To avoid the smell, you can use a toaster oven outside.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line baking pan with aluminum foil to protect the pan and make it easier for the ornaments to release from the pan.
Place cookie cutters on aluminum foil in baking pan. Fill each ornament with a single layer of beads. Use a toothpick or bamboo skewer to arrange the beads.
Carefully put the baking sheet in the oven and melt the beads. The time can vary based on the type of bead. Begin checking at 5 minutes. (My ornaments took 15 minutes to melt.) The ornaments are ready when the beads are melted and the hole in each bead has disappeared.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely prior to removing from the cookie cutters. To remove the ornaments, gently pull the sides of the cookie cutter away from the ornament.
If desired, use the drill to create a small hole in each ornament for hanging.
