Lately I have been really enjoying planning and creating our kid crafts around my son’s favorite books.

My son and I usually do our kid friendly crafts early in the morning and read the accompanying book right afterwards to celebrate. It’s been pretty fun {my son seems to enjoy it} and I just love how beautiful my fridge is looking, with all our crafty creations. So on that note – expect lots of kid crafts in the future, planned around some kid books. Especially Dr Seuss ones! YAY!

Recently we made this Paper Plate Cookie Kid Craft in honor of the book The Duckling Gets A Cookie?! by Mo Williams. If you haven’t seen/read the series yet – you should! {I also really enjoy the Elephant & Piggie book series he writes too}

So just like ALL our kid friendly craft tutorials – this paper plate craft tutorial is super easy, fun and really inexpensive too! Best part – this cookie isn’t “crumby” and is calorie/mess free!

So don’t wait my dear crafty friends!!! Be sure to grab your supplies and follow our step-by-step tutorial listed below. Happy crafting, my friends!

Paper Plate Cookie Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Tan Tissue Paper
* Brown Cardstock
* Scissors
* White School Glue
* Circle Punch

Directions:

* First you will want to cut your tan tissue paper into smalls squares {get the kids involved in this step so they can practice those cutting skills!}
* Next put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate.
* Have your child place the tissue paper squares on top, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry while you cut small circles {the chocolate chips} out of the brown cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Plate “Cookie” craft – glue on the brown circles all over the paper plate for chocolate chips and display proudly!

And because we LOVE this book so much, I have another kid friendly craft to pair with it! This one is titled Cupcake Liner Cookies and all you need to do is flatten/glue some brown cupcake liners to a piece of cardstock & add some “chocolate chip” cutouts to finish it off!
