The same with the decoration. This year we've got hanging wooden shapes and the children will paint and decorate them as they want.
I do have a bit more input with the cards. I've found parents do like one thing that looks a bit less 'child-made', so I do hand or footprint cards and either add the decoration or show the children where they might like to stick the bits :laughing: I don't like to see a row of identical looking cards, but I know the parents do like them.
Something edible is usually something very last minute because I always forget to get the stuff in! As long as I'm organised, we'll make and decorate cupcakes.
