My goal this summer is to give you some fun projects that you can do with your kids or grandkids this summer! (On a side note, when I did my reader survey last month I found out that MANY of my readers are grandmas! Hi Grandma!) So if you are looking for something fun to do with the littles this summer, here’s a very simple project that they’ll love and it will taste yummy! They are fun, swirly, colorful cookies:

Colorful Swirl Cookies-Fun Project for the Kids

And really, they are so easy to make! Very little prep on your part and then the kids can do the rest!

 

Rainbow Swirl Cookies:

Supplies Needed:

  • Round Sugar Cookies-grab some pre-made at the store, use your favorite recipe or, do what I did and get some pre-made cookie dough and bake some up quick
  • White frosting-Again, grab some pre-made or make it yourself
  • Food colorings in bright colors
  • Butter knives and spoons

Ok, start by mixing up a bunch of colors of frosting. You can do any colors that you want. I did mostly rainbow colors.

Frosting

Now, grab a cookie and place some blobs of frosting on it with a spoon:

Then take a knife and spread in a smooth motion:

And you end up with something pretty like this:

And really, the kiddos can get creative. You can place the blobs however you want:

And then get a little more swirly.

I hope you have a blast doing this project with the kids!

    Hi Amber! I’m one of the grandmas that read your blog and get your emails. I take care of two of my 2 granddaughters during the school year and then three (grandson) of them during vacations and summer!
    I love this idea – the kids love the idea of making cookies but frosting them even more so! Thanks for the great idea – especially getting pre-made sugar cookies – that way the kitchen stays cool during this hot hot summer!
    Blessings, Donna in FL

    Dear,

    Any ideas of making these with icing that contains no or less sugar?

    All the best,

    Machtelt.

    These were cue and an easy activity with my 5 year old. He picked the colors (black, brown, red, and yellow) so the cookies looked quite different but this is an activity I would repeate if it is requested.
