You could use them for so many things but I decided to attach them to paper straws and insert in a cake. Because, cake!

I chose to use spray paint for my toys but you could just paint them with acrylics. {If you use all non-toxic paints, they can really remain toys for your little ones!}

I did a couple of layers of primer then sprayed half white and half pink.

Next, apply polka dots! I used this little doo-hickey of paints and got all the colors I needed except the blue. Its more of a aqua, sky blue and I had to use a different acrylic for that.

I used toothpicks to paint the dots and just applied one color to all the toys at a time.

Animal cookie sprinkles come in the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, purple, pink and white.

Now try to resist the temptation to eat them {but feel free to go buy some real animal cookies like right now.}

Attach to paper straws using hot glue if you so desire.

Even if they’re not going in a cake, they look super cute on the straws right!?

But, everything looks at least slightly better when it comes with cake underneath it!
