Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- The more colors you have on the table, the more festive and fun this will be. Who doesn't have a store of sprinkles in the house? If you don't, I love these sets.
- To make the colored coconut, just place some sweetened coconut in a bowl, add a few drops of food coloring, (the gel drops are my fav), and stir and mash around with a fork until well combined! You can make any color you like!
- Store bought frosting is perfect for this activity. Spread the cookie or pretzel with frosting then press it in to the colored coconut for cute results!
- Add sprinkles, marshmallows, and other candies to the table to let the kids create their own designs! Easter colored M&M's for flowers and nests, Reese's Pieces for the chicks noses, sugar pearls for the small flowers, and you always need edible eyes for fun. Be creative!
