They aren't messy and work great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-648703 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:20:37 +0000 singingbee 648703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tip: put the icing in ketchup bottles. Much easier to clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-648226 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:34:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 648226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookie Decorating it is!!! Thanks ladies!</p> <p>Anyone have icing colors, sprinkle types, or shapes they would WANT to see if they were attending a cookie decorating party? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-648065 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:08:26 +0000 blackbird 648065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom did t shirt decorating once-white Hanes shirts, sponge paints, fabric paint, etc. it was very popular!</p> <p>Cookie decorating is always good tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-648040 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:49:59 +0000 tequiero21 648040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K, the reason I voted cookie was because at 11 months, my kids still like to put things in their mouths. I know for a fact that they would try to eat the crayons... At least cookies r edible! But both are great ideas, thx, I will use in the future hehe... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-648010 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:26:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 648010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the kids would appreciate the cookie decorating more and they wouldn't appreciate the pencil tubes (although they are awesome) as much as you do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647969 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:56:51 +0000 tysonja 647969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree that cookie decorating would be messier and more work, but also more 'special' for the visiting kids? :) those pencil crayons in the tube are SUPER cute, though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647914 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:20:45 +0000 SAHM0811 647914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a drawing station for kids at a party once... It worked okay, but honestly did not hold their attention for very long. I voted for cookie decorating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647875 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:54:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 647875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The colored pencil tubes are cute, but I like them as a party favor. </p> <p>Now, the cookie station will be wonderfulky messy, creative, and yummy. I can totally see kids of all ages (adults) wanting to do this. Older kids will likely help the younger ones, so the activity may not require constant supervision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647874 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:54:28 +0000 marionberry 647874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While the kids would love cookie decorating, I'm thinking your kitchen will not and I can't imaging chasing down tons of kids with really messy hands through my house, so I voted drawing station. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647863 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:49:16 +0000 photojane 647863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the cookie decoration station is an adorable idea! The drawing station is cute too though, and would be much easier for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cookie-decorating-or-drawing-station#post-647854 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:46:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 647854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm needing to figure out the activity to have at P's first bday pretty quick.... We expect around 10 kids at P's birthday ranging from ~6 months to 8 years and I'm currently getting party supplies.</p> <p>I originally thought cookie decorating would be a great activity &amp; the kids could just take their cookies (those left uneaten) home with them as their favor. Now, after finding these uber cute colored pencil tubes I think I may set up a drawing station instead..... I mean the lil' ones can't really decorate cookies but they may be able to scribble?</p> <p>I can only do one b/c of cost (we're also moving &amp; having to get a new car all at the same time) and I want it to not be "too much". I think the cookie decorating may require too much supervision BUT the adults may like it too?..</p> <p>Which do you ladies think would be best?</p> <p>ETA: For the drawing station the kiddos would keep their colored pencils as a favor &amp; I'd put some washi tape &amp; their name on them.</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mjtagv.300x300.colored-pencil-tubes.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1400/13/mjtagw.600x454.cookie-docrating.jpg] </p>
