Ingredients:

• 2 cups (300g) icing sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• yellow food colouring
• 1 packet Milk Arrowroot biscuits (oval shape)
• small box Smarties
• packet Allen's Retro party mix (it has the teeth and lips!)
• packet jelly beans
• sprinkles

Method:

Sift icing sugar into a bowl; add enough water to make a spreadable paste. Add a few drops of yellow food colouring to get the right funny face colour.

Spread a teaspoon of icing onto the biscuit and then use the lollies to make the faces. When the face is done, use the sprinkles for hair, beards and a moustaches.

Notes:

These are so much fun! Mine were very boring and 'normal'; the kids were very creative and added eyebrows, rosy cheeks, big noses and ears – all in fascinating colour combinations!

• The biscuits will keep in an air-tight container for a few days if you want to make them in advance

• A great way to combine party food with a party activity.
