Help your children be creative and imagine what the normal cookie cutouts could be. It is a good creative exercise and besides, it’s a great memory maker.

I recently saw a picture on facebook where someone had taken a gingerbread man cookie shape turned upside down and decorated as a reindeer. This reminded me of how my children decorate cookies.

Here are a few examples of what my crazy gang comes up with.

Poinsettia turned into a snowflake:

Ornament turned watch:

Candy in wrapper turned drummer:

If you look closely, you can see a mitten turned fish:

Here are some others:

I hope this inspires you to help your kids think outside of the box and be creative with Christmas cookies this year.

Until next time, God bless,
