Opposite page, clockwise from top: Robin

Rubenstein helps her son, Ari, ice a cookie,

while multi-tasking daughter Tali enjoys a

lollipop cookie. Rice Krispy Treat Lollipops:

Just add M&Ms and a stick. The glue-like

bottle that Wilton Cookie Icing comes in

makes it easy for little fingers to handle

— and fun for "gluing" on decorations.

Mom Marni Foster keeps her eye on daugh-

ters Dahvi (left) and Hanna Lupovitch —

and on the cookies. Let imaginations run

wild with bowls brimming with colorful

props on hand. This page: Hanna Lupovitch

tucks into her creation.
