supervised a 2 1/2 year-old as she made these, and she did great with a minimum of help (though she was a fan of adding 2 buckles!). We used orange tic tacs since I couldn't find Chiclets anywhere. Really cute cookies and so easy.

These went really fast. I had to go buy more cookies and peanutbutter cups to make more. Great to have kids do because it's easy. We used mini marshmallows and butter mints instead of Chiclets.

We could not find the gum either, so instead, we took candy corn and cut off the orange and cut little squares. It worked out great. Everyone really liked it.

VERY fast. I could throw a lot together in a short amount of time. I decided to make the ring around the hat yellow and instead of the gum pieces, just piped black squares to look like buckles. Came out fantastic. They also went faster because hardly anybody can fit more than this cookie in their belly after dinner. : )
