SUMMARY:Little Sprouts Cookie Decorating (3 - 5 Years)
DESCRIPTION:THIS SESSION HAS BEEN CANCELLED. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE NEXT ONE ON FEBRUARY 14!\nCookie Decorating with The Cookie Garden\nJoin 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. \nWe 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. \nThis 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. \nDecorating 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. \nAt 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. \nParents 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. \nNo 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. \nLittle 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. \nCome decorate\, discover\, and delight with us. We can’t wait to see what your little baker creates!  \nLittle Sprouts Cookie Decorating Class  is for Ages 3 – 5  \nElizabeth Lindberg— The Cookie Garden\nBeth Lindberg is the owner and creative heart behind The Cookie Garden\, a whimsical\, sugar-inspired business that brings joy and artistry to the community through in-home cookie decorating parties and custom cookie bouquets. With a passion for creativity and connection\, Beth transforms cookies into edible works of art\, guiding people of all ages to decorate\, laugh\, and make memories together.
