In Holland, it's the tradition that you take 'gifts' into school/work with you on your birthday to share with your classmates/colleagues (a tradition I have a particular loathing for - but I won't get into that lol!). Anyhoo - it's my daughter's 4th birthday on Saturday and I'm thinking of making decorated sugar cookies for her to give to her classmates. There is pretty much a 50/50 split between boys & girls in her class and I thought of doing one design for the girls and one design for the boys. I'm crunched for time this week so I don't want anything too time intensive (although I'm aware that even simple decorated sugar cookies are going to take a while lol!),, but I just can't decide on what designs to do - any ideas? I need to do 12 of each. TIA! Oh, I have lots and lots of cookie cutters, so don't let that stunt your ideas!

BUMP - I have the dough chilling, need some ideas quick! Anyone???

You could do teddy bears - and dress them in pink for the girls and blue for the boys?

How about some crowns for the boys and tiaras for the girls! I know those are always a bit hit with the kids. (same cutter, just decorated masculine and feminine)

What about a pink castle for the girls and a horse for the boys? A "Cinderella" for both boys and girls.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll rake through my (many) cutters and see what I have!

It's the same 'tradition' here in the states. When my DD turned 4, I made "4" cookies, dog bones and paw prints.

Here's a few other ideas:
flip flops and sneakers
pink poodles and dalmations
candle shaped cookies, iced in pink & blue
lady bugs and spiders
present shaped cookies

Can't wait to see what you bake up!!

momsandraven did you make the bags the cookies are in? If so would you mind sharing how, pretty please?????

OK, I went with boring old cupcake with the candle in the top cookies. Mainly just because I don't have hours and hours to spare to decorate them (and as a perfectionist, I would!). BUT for the party favour bags for her actual birthday party I made Pirate Ships and Tiaras - with only 4 each of those to do, I can spend the time needed on each! Will post photos tomorrow when all done. Thanks again for all your suggestions!
