I'd like to bake Chanukah shaped sugar cookies for Chanukah and have my children decorate them. What's an easy and fun way for them to decorate? We tried with edible marker but it didn't work well last year. I am looking for something that's not labor intensive or time consuming- just easy easy easy and colorful and fun! Thanks!
Also- I'm embarrassed to be asking this under my screen name because it seems like such a basic question- but at what point in the process would they put sprinkles on the cookies? Before baking? After?

Bake the cookies first. Then decorate.
If you want super easy, buy a couple of colors of pre-made stuff.

Sprinkles go on to the wet icing, after it's been spread over the baked cookie.

Eggs yolks with food coloring and clean paintbrushes. Paint before baking.
I learned this from one of my kids morahs

Sprinkles depends. If icing after baking. If not icing. We’ll decorate with sprinkles and chic chips before baking.

Fondant is very easy - buy a few ready-coloured packs, let them roll and cut like play-doh. You can use the same cookie cutter as for the cookies to get a piece that covers the cookie, then add further decorations on top.

Colored frosting with sprinkles - applied after cookies are cool.

If you want to go very fancy, you can mail order sanding sugar or metallic type of cookie decoration.

If you want to go fancy there's stained glass with baked hard candy.

Or hideout like Linzer tarts. You do a big dreidel cookie then cut out a small dreidel shape in center. You lay it over a full dreidel cookie & stuff center with whatever you want.
Marshmallows, sprinkles, non pareils, choco chips, candy chips, chocolate cream etc.
