I received an amazing book for Christmas last year - "Someone's in the Kitchen with Mommy" - you can find it on amazon.com and the link is below.
This book has a ton of amazing kitchen craft ideas for kids to do with moms during holidays and other special times. I saw an entry for painted Valentine's Day sugar cookies and added my own little twist.
According to this book you roll out the sugar cookie dough and then paint messages on the cookies with an egg yolk/water/food coloring glaze. For Lizzie I gave her a paint brush and let her have fun!
Yummy!!! They were very good too! I could have rolled them out thicker but I like thin and crispy sugar cookies as opposed to thick and fluffy ones.
Lizzie was so proud of herself! I have animal cookie cutters so we also talked about what sounds each animal makes and which part of the body we were paining. Now she wants to make more - looks like a trip to the store is in order!
These will make fantastic gifts!
