Holiday Teen Program-Decorate a Cupcake

  Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted in a while. There were several reasons for this. First of all I was too busy. I was taking on the Teen programs and at first was overwhelmed. Also I had felt bad that many people were not reading my blog. I then realized that I could continue to blog and keep it as a record for myself if others do not read it.

  I wanted to share my fun decorate a cupcake program. I spent a day making cupcakes (using a cupcake mix) for the program. I got pink and green frosting for them to use to decorate. They also used sprinkles and candies. At first, I opened this program to tweens (ages 9-12). We had some extra space, so I let a few children ages 5-8 attend. The children were so creative and enjoyed decorating their cupcakes. I also got them sugar cookies to decorate after the cupcakes. I also had soda for them to drink.

  I was also surprised that there was not as much mess as I had previously expected. I recommend this program as a fun alternative to Gingerbread House decorating. In the future, I would have some tweens help me make the cupcakes.
