[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just buy a variety of sprinkle, m&Ms, skittles, edible figurines, or whatever and set them out in multiple small bowls throughout the table (so everyone can reach/each end of the table)?

Keep your expectations low. It'll be messy. They might not be very coordinated to scoop icing, hold cookie, smear icing, etc so be ready to jump in and help or have a few cookies iced ahead of time as standby.

Plastic disposable table cloth, plastic knife for smearing icing, wet wipes on hand. At the end just fold up table cloth with all the plastic knives, used wet wipes, and spilled sprinkles, and toss. Done.

We got these really cute cookie boxes from Oriental Trading that were designed for cookie decorating parties. I labeled them with the kids' names prior to the party. Just one less thing to deal with when things get chaotic.

Make sure the cookie is large enough. The bigger the surface area of the cookie the more room to decorate it or otherwise using a smallish cookie will take the kids only like 30 sec to decorate (out of a very long 2 hr party!) . We did 3 fairly biggish cookies (see above tip about surface area) for each kid - 1 of 3 of said cookies typically is eaten on the spot.

We set it up the table outside.  Then had a smallish craft table (black scratch art) adjacent for the kids who were finished/not really into decorating to work on while waiting for everyone else.

Kits are a scam and the cookies taste gross and the toppings are barely edible. And it gets expensive.. Ymmv.[/quote]
