You could make a huge chocolate chip cookie using a round pizza pan. Then decorate it like an animal or spider web with frosting. Just cut into pieces when ready to serve.
You could make ice cream cone cupcakes. Arrange cake ice cream cones on a baking sheet and poor cake batter into the cone (filling about 2/3's of the cone). Then decorate like an ice cream cone with piped frosting and sprinkles.
Also cookie "pops" are a hit. Use cookie cutters to cut sugar cookie dough. Before baking, press a popscicle stick underneath the cookie and bake as directed. Then decorate with icing. To make this really easy, buy the pre-packaged animal shaped sugar cookies and use pre-made icing in the tubes.
I would recommend cupcakes since the icing can be colored and decorations can be added too. If you don't want cupcakes, I would suggest a frosted cookie. (Sugar cookies with buttercream frosting hold up well and are delicious.)
Some decorating options are to make the cupcakes or cookies various colors and arrange them in a pattern of some sort. You could also make them look like flowers or faces.
I have used some of the ideas from Ladies Home Journal in the past, but they might be a little difficult if you are trying to remove them from your home. To find some of their ideas go to http://www.lhj.com/lhj/recipe/?psrc=bolh... or go to ladieshomejournal.com, click on the 'food and home' tab, and then search for recipes using the word 'cupcake.'

We had a lady bring in "beach" cupcakes one time to work. She put teddy grahams in gummy lifesavers and had those paper drink umbrellas over them. She also had blue icing for water and then brownish icing for the beach. She also used some sort of sugar sprinkles or something to make it actually look like sand. They were so cute!
