Paper Christmas Oven Craft Idea For Kids

Our cookie themed tutorial is a fun craft idea for kids that is quick, simple and easy to make! Just download, print and decorate!

Craft Supplies:

Oven Printable {GRAB IT ON BOX.COM}
Cardstock Paper
Aluminum Foil
Scissors
Clear Contact Paper
Pencil
Sharpie Markers
Gingerbread Man Cookie Cutter

Directions:

First print out the FREE Christmas oven craft template listed above. You will want one printable, per “cookie baking” craft.
Grab your scissors and the oven printable.
Trim out the oven shape, as well as the rectangle center from it.
Discard excess paper. Set aside.
Now grab your cookie cutter shape, pencil and tan cardstock.
Trace/cut out a few cookies to be placed inside your oven.
Decorate them with the Sharpie markers. Set aside.
Next up – grab the aluminum foil and cut a thin strip for the “cookie sheet” that the cookie will lay on.
Set aside.
Now grab your clear contact paper.
Cut out TWO pieces that are slightly bigger than the oven cutout.
Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper.
Lay it on a flat surface.
Place the oven cutout, face down, on the contact paper.
Next have children add their gingerbread man cutouts and aluminum piece inside.
Once they are done creating the contents, grab the second piece of contact paper.
Peel off the backing and place it on top of the other piece of contact paper, moving your hand around to “squish” everything together.
To finish off the Gingerbread Men Cookies In Oven craft, use your scissors to trim around the oven/remove the excess contact paper.
Then display proudly for all to see!
