For the first set, I went with the old faithfuls, dinosaurs as hearts. These are always a hit. I can't take credit for this idea, I think it was a Wilton thing once upon a time.
I tried to make them a little more Valentine-y by adding hearts and simple "You're GRRR-eat," and "You're Dino-myte," rounds.
Then for the girl in me, I made another set, these were a little simpler, but pretty. And without teeth.I
*Word to the wise, don't spend hours decorating cookies for young children. You will be heartbroken when they take one bite and throw them in the trash, or use them as projectile weapons when the school party sugar high kicks in*
While I was on the topic of dinosaurs, I decided to make a simple platter of cookies for my godson, who is turning five this weekend...
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
{He may not condone it, but he couldn't deny it was cute...and hilarious!}
All of these cookies are simple enough to work really well for Valentine's Day treat bags. To help everyone out, I found this cute, fun Valentine printable at The Celebration Shoppe. Follow the instructions to get yours =)
I also see another adorable girl idea there,
*Think owls and flowers =)*
I hope everyone will try these projects and spend a little time crafting with their kids.
Cute dinosaurs! I understand about the kids not appreciating decorative cookies, my cousins are like that too. Thanks for checking out and commenting on my site. I have a quick cookie post coming soon, but my mixer broke recently so right now I'm just waiting for a good paycheck so I can get a fancier one and make more.
ReplyDeleteLOL these are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your "vision" for cookie design...you come up with some of the cutest ideas! Always thinking outside the box. Love all of these, but I think the heart dinosaur head is my fave...love the one you made for your hubby!

ReplyDeletereally cute!!! Lucky kids you have :) they will be sharing amazing cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love these. Now I will have to see which my son prefers for Valentine's Day at school - Spiderman hearts or dino hearts! It stands to reason that a talented and creative Mom would also have talented and creative kids - thanks to your children for such awesome ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies are my cherry cordial rollouts, Dear Jer. I will post it soon. =) Thanks Lorraine!

I love them all! I'd never seen the heart/dino head idea before, but I'm still so new to cookie decorating. And I ♥LOVE♥ the "simple cookies" you plattered (yeah, it's a word now!) - awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog while researching how to make royal icing/decorated cookies. HOLY COW. If I even have one tenth of one percent of your talent I'll be happy. You are amazing.
