Perhaps I was slightly insane when I decided to do roll-out cookies with two year olds. It actually went better than I thought it would and I even ended up with a little bit of colored sugar left over. Doug and Andy were very excited about the cookies. They were thrilled that we were cutting out cars, trucks, dump trucks, train engines, T-Rexes, and stegosauruses. They had more colored sugar on the tray then the cookies, but they loved putting candies and sprinkles on.
Then it was a nice enough outside that I took them to a park and they had a marvelous time. I just love seeing what they can that is new each time. Both Doug and Andy sat on the big kids swings and let people push them. Jo had a fabulous time too. They had baby swings which she loved, she got to slide down the slide several times, and she loved being outside watching the boys play.

Oh my goodness, you are brave. Whenever I try to be a cool mom like that and let the kids decorate cookies or something, I just about have a stroke. Glad it went well -- the cookies sound really cute.
If it's really a lot, scrape the excess sugar off the trays and make a "mixed" color container for next time. It does take a lot of patience and an acceptance of the outcome to do cookies with small children!
