My
wife is an avid baker, and around Christmas she always makes a large
batch of delicious sugar cookies. Using her collection of cookie
cutters, she makes all kinds of creative, edible treats. But I did
notice the other day that the cookie cutters were sitting idle in the
middle of the summer, so we took them out and created a little fun of
our own.
Starting with the cookie cutters, crayons and paper, we
traced the shape and created some cookie inspired art all our own. Of
course you could add some stickers, glitter or other mixed media items
to make your art work really pop. For us though crayons worked just
fine.
Try it today and the result of your labor just might be some real cookies to complement your art! (Hint, hint)
***UPDATE*** MommyinLA (here is a link to her twitter page) sent us these pictures of her boys enjoying some Cookie Cutter Coloring craft! Thanks and keep the photos coming!
