This is what the kids and I are making on Wednesday. I thought about making them before I told you about them, so I could share the lovely pictures. Then I remembered my questionable experience with children's cooking crafts. It usually ends poorly.
Especially when the item in question involves brown clumpy things. There will be poop jokes, y'all. There just will. I'm not sure this is a moment I want to preserve for posterity.
So I'm telling you about it beforehand, while I can still optimistically entertain the notion that our little pilgrim hats will turn out as cute as these. Maybe while we make them we will all talk about how thankful we are for each other. Maybe we'll spontaneously burst into a rendition of "Blest Be the Tie That Binds".
We're probably more likely to spontaneously burst into flames.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the cute idea in case any of you thought it sounded like fun. If any of you have a great success (and by "success", I mean "nobody ends up with icing up his nose"), then I'd love to hear about it.
{*UPDATE* I just learned that Scribbit has a version of these cookies, and they're even cuter! And it looks simpler, too, because finding ginger snaps would be much easier than finding little chocolate wafers.}
