One of my "faves" is/was when then 3 yr old Joshua grabbed a favorite airplane cookie cutter, placed it on the "runway" (carpet), started (vroom!)its "engines" and "flew" it onto the rolled out dough - all in a wink of time before I could rush forth to redirect/avert the "compromised sanitation"! LOL! OH well, I silently figured as I brushed it off while looking into his big brown dancing eyes and laughed WITH him, the 375 degree baking temp. would do the job well enough! At nine, he still gets a a kick out of me retelling it when we gather for cookie time!
The Grands themselves remember when then 19 mo. old Sarah lacked the fine motor coordination to sprinkle single cookies, and would virtually shower EVERYONE at the table with her bottom to top "waves" of sugar bits as they laughed with her!

Didn't they have flour handprints on their jeans? - I thought that was the main occupationjal hazard of Christmas cookie making.
