Paper & Thumbprint Smart Cookie - Kid Craft Idea

Fingerprint Cookie Craft Idea

One inspiration leads to another. My “cupcake liner tough cookie” post has been so popular the last few days, that I decided to brainstorm on how I can expand on that. Hence today’s Thumbprint Smart Cookie post. I’ve even included TWO free printable templates to get you started on this crafty idea!

And as I was making this cookie craft come to life with my son, he brought up some interesting points!

When I asked him to make the black thumbprints on the cookie, he said “I’m going to make 100 thumbprints on mine!”

Although he didn’t reach his goal {he kinda went off the beaten path at one point} it did get me thinking that this would be a great 100 days of school activity. Then I got to thinking some more – you could have children pull random numbers from a hat or use their age for the thumbprint “chocolate chips.”

So many ideas – I just hope you are inspired by this post! On that note, check out the full tutorial and free templates below! Happy crafting, my friends!

  • Use baby wipes to clean off excess ink from their fingers.
  • Set aside the cookie print.
  • Next, using scissors, trim out the glasses from the other printable but DON’T cut out the inside lenses {you can if you want but it can be tricky for younger kids!}
  • Once the glasses are cut out, adhere them to the center of the cookie printable.
  • Now grab your wiggle eyes. Adhere those to the center of the glasses.
  • Finally and the last step for this Paper Smart Cookie craft, take the black Sharpie marker and draw a smiley face on your newly made friend.
