Cookie decorating sounds right up her alley. I'm not really a baker, though. Any tips on how to do this easily? Like do we just bake sugar cookies ahead of time (recipe?) and put cookie frosting (again, recipe?) into different bowls and add food coloring, and the girls use clean paintbrushes? Or something? to paint the icing on their cookies? and then maybe different types of sprinkles they can stick to the icing? How long would an activity like that take, and how many cookies should each girl get?
(Can you tell that my daughter and I are VERY different in the activities we enjoy? I would have probably prefered playing sports with my friends in the backyard at that age.)
If anyone has watched a youtube video with an easy paint nite option, can you link it here? My filter has a hard time with youtube unless I know exactly which video I want to watch. I think that seeing it would be really helpful, though...
Also, is pass the present too babyish? I would have thought it would be a good 4 or 5 year old party game. Nine year olds would enjoy it too? |
We did pass the parcel at my daughter's 9th last year and they enjoyed it. I think we filled it with candy bracelets. The Israeli version she asked for has a note in each layer instructing the girl who opens it to do something (e.g. ''say ''Happy Birthday'' 5 times to the birthday girl'', ''make a funny face'', etc); maybe that's less babyish, depending on what you write on the notes.
