Biscuit decortating for 2 to 5 year olds?

I am throwing a very budgetted party for the boys in April, they will be one and four.

I considered plate decorating, but there will likely be babies bimbling around and I would hate for them to eat the 'bits'

So, I thought they could ice and decorate Rich Tea biscuits instead?

What do you think?

Excellent idea!

Even better, decorate ginger bread men ! They can be really creative "dressing" them with the icing and decs

Big tubs of small gingerbread in the bakery section of tesco.
Great idea.

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of that. What a good idea.

Any other ideas?

I did biscuit decorating with a load of 20 month to 4 years children for dd's 2nd birthday. It worked really well except I had grand ideas about them being put in their party bags but of course they all scoffed them as soon as they made them .

Colditz great my DC love it when they do this at toddlers. Icing with teaspoons and some sweets.

I am going to do this at my dds 3yo party on Saturday. You can small tubes of icing (I got glitter ones but I am sure there are others) and other bits and peices at tescos.

Oh wow, I am starting to plan dd's 4th birthday party this week and some sort of craft thing was on the agenda. We too will have a mixture of ages and this sounds just the ticket - and the gingerbread men sound fab.

Thanks Colditz for starting the thread and everyone else for their suggestions.

depends when in april but rich tea biscuit with a giant marshmellow stuck on with icing and then they can decorate their EASTER BONNET with sweets!

Oh bonkerz that's a good one!

I am doing the party at 12 noon so they will come straight in and eat, before they get worked up, then planning to do biscuit decorating straight after so they don't just stuff them.

I found 12 little plastic eggs for £1 at poundland, 12 little fluffy chicks and some tiny chocolate bunnies - so with a ballon and a party blower, that's going to be the party bag!

The rest of the time, I thought I'd just let them teararse around with some toys!
