When your kids help you decorate cookies do you have piles of sprinkles that look like this?

 

My kids love to help me decorate cookies.  They always have, but those holes on the sprinkles container are HUGE!  So when they were really little I came up with the idea to put tape over most of the holes in the top and voila, less mess cookie decorating!

Also, I have them decorate over a lipped cookie sheet and then we collect all those fall off sprinkles and put them in an empty container to reuse!
