Face biscuits

Let your child loose with imagination and some messy mixtures and just wait to see the end result (if it lasts long enough to look at!)

2 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons water
Food colouring (yellow, red, blue and green)
1 packet vanilla wine biscuits
small sweets, such as jelly beans, pebbles (chocolate inside and brightly coloured coating)
licorice straps
Hundreds and thousands (or sprinkles)

Method

1. Sift icing sugar into a bowl and add enough water to make a spreadable paste
2. Divide paste into several small bowls, one for each colour
3. Add 2 drops of food colouring to each bowl, using  a different colour in each
4. Spread about a teaspoon of icing onto the biscuit and then use the sweets to make the faces
5. Complete the face with pieces of licorice strap and hundreds and thousands
