5 ideas to make your DIY sugar cookie decorating experience even more fun

In the name of product testing, I forced my family to get together and do the DIY cookie decorating kit this past weekend, and it was fun! We went to the park, got creative with cookies, and had some yummy treats. My family’s DIY Easter cookie decorating experience turned out pretty ideal. This week, as I was reflecting on the whole experience and what could possibly have made it any better, I came up with these 5 ideas that could be fun to try out in the future.

1. Cookie decorating team relay

Set up a decorating station with all your frosting and sprinkles, then make it a friendly competition with teams! A family member decorates a cookie, then hands it off to the next person to add another layer. For example, one person might spread frosting, another person might add sprinkles. The team with the most creative cookie wins.

2. Add a cookie storytelling element

As you’re decorating, encourage each family member to create a story around their cookie design. For example, someone could say their cookie is a superhero bunny named Captain Cottontale who is actively saving the day. Sharing these stories makes the decorating experience even more personal, and hilarious!

3. Blindfolded decorating

For a silly challenge, have everyone decorate their cookies while wearing blindfolds! You can either let people guess what their cookies ended up looking like afterward or vote on the best decorated blindfolded designs. The results are sure to be funny and unique.

4. Cookie decorating Bingo

Create a bingo card with various cookie decoration challenges (like “use three colors,” “make a face,” “add sprinkles,” “create a pattern,” etc.). As family members decorate their cookies, they try to complete the challenges and fill in the bingo card. The first person to get a full line gets a fun prize or bragging rights.

5. Simple decorating challenge

Make it an individual artsy competition. You can even vote on the most creative cookie afterward.

These five creative ideas can take your DIY sugar cookie decorating experience from ordinary family fun to unforgettable. Whether you’re turning it into a friendly team relay, adding some storytelling fun, or embracing the chaos of blindfolded decorating, there’s no shortage of ways to get everyone laughing and engaged.
