Materials Needed to Make a Smart Cookie Craft
This craft is amazing because it requires minimal supplies. Make your own chocolate chip cookie using just a few craft supplies. Find everything you need at Walmart, the local craft store, and even the Dollar Store.
- Light/Medium Brown cardstock
- Black Pipe Cleaners
- Dark brown paint
- Large googly eyes
- White ribbon
- Black Sharpie
- liquid glue **
I recommend using liquid glue to attach the pipe cleaner glasses. A glue stick won’t do the trick, and the glasses will fall off very easily. This is the same for the googly eyes. ** Parents can also use hot glue – this is my preferred method for a speedy craft.
How to Make Your Smart Cookie
Making this craft is super simple; just follow the instructions below. If you don’t have pipe cleaners, you can use a black marker to draw the glasses instead. The pipe cleaners are just a fun way to make the craft pop out.
- Fold over your brown paper, trace and cut out a circle shape being careful to leave some of the top circle uncut so it can open like a card.
- Add facial features, including glasses and googly eyes. You can make the glasses by cutting a pipe cleaner in half and making two circle shapes. Glue in place and add a nose piece and two ear pieces.
- Add brown dots with brown paint and a q-tip.
- Add a bow if desired.
You can make the brown dots larger by rubbing the q-tip around a little bit. If you can, make them different sizes, just like chocolate chips would be on a real cookie.
