Witch Cupcakes

This is a fun way to decorate cupcakes, and it is definitely something your toddler can help you do.

AGE RANGE
1 and up with assistance. Two with lots of guidance. Three and up with their own imagination.

SKILLS TAUGHT

• Cooking/baking
• Math
• Fine motor skills

SUPPLIES

• Cupcakes (and all that it takes to make them)
• Sugar ice cream cones (the pointy ones)
• String licorice
• Candy corn

ACTIVITY

1. Have your child help you bake cupcakes. This is where the math learning comes in.
2. After cupcakes have cooled, frost them. You are making a witch, so I dye it green.
3. Cut string licorice into pieces of hair. I use red licorice because no one in my house likes black.

5. Put her pointy hat on.
6. Add her candy corn nose.
7. Eat her!
