If you’ve got little ones at home then you already know: There is nothing you can do to get your kiddos to sit still, use an "inside" voice or stop bouncing off every piece of springy furniture in the house during the holidays. The only solution? Channel all that holiday spirit into fun tasks that will keep them busy! We love crafty activities like DIY salt dough ornaments and purpose-driven projects like homemade edible gifts for everyone on your list, but there’s something extra special about baking together. The laughter, the memories, the sweet treats that become tradition: there’s nothing better than bringing everyone together in the kitchen during the holidays. That’s why we love these recipes. From cookies and cupcakesto easy candies and couldn't-be-simpler miniature yule logs, these are the family-friendly projects you’ll love to make (and share!) year after year. Looking for the perfect recipe to get you started? Try these sugar cookies. Each one depicts a miniature holiday scene: a bed of freshly fallen snow with a perfect Christmas tree in the middle. The best part of these impressive treats? They come together quickly and easily with store-bought candy, icing and cookies. All you need to do is let your inner artist shine.
