Cookie Decorating with The Cookie Garden

Join us for a fun, hands-on cookie decorating class made just for little bakers! Little Sprouts is designed for children ages 3–5. In this class, kids explore the sweet world of creativity through color, texture, and taste.

We start with pre-baked cookies, so the focus is all on decorating. Children use frosting, sprinkles, and edible decorations. They squeeze, spread, and shake. Each cookie becomes a small work of art.

This class is sensory-friendly. We create a calm and welcoming space. Young learners feel supported as they experiment. They can explore at their own pace. No pressure, just play.

Decorating cookies helps more than creativity. Kids practice fine motor skills. They build hand strength and coordination, learn to follow simple steps and gain confidence with each design.

At the same time, they have fun! Expect sticky fingers, messy tables, and lots of smiles. Every swirl of frosting or sprinkle of color adds to the excitement. Children get to see their ideas come to life right in front of them.

Parents and caregivers are welcome to join in. Together, you’ll share laughter and create sweet memories. Decorating side by side encourages bonding and teamwork. It’s a simple activity that sparks big joy.

No baking experience is needed. Just bring curiosity and a love of fun. We’ll guide the rest. Kids leave with decorated cookies to enjoy or share. More importantly, they leave with pride in what they created.

Little Sprouts is more than a class. It’s an invitation to imagine, explore, and connect. From the first squeeze of frosting to the last bite, it’s a celebration of creativity.

Come decorate, discover, and delight with us. We can’t wait to see what your little baker creates! Ages 3 – 5
