Inspired by the REAL coated in caramel and sprinkled with toasted coconut cookies, today I present to you our Girl Scout Paper Plate Samoa Cookie Friend kid craft tutorial!
Girl Scout Cookie Paper Plate Craft Idea For Kids
January officially kicks off the ICONIC Girl Scout Cookie season! From now until April, YOU are going to be tempted to buy a box of cookies. It’s just how it happens. So let it happen. Buy the box {or two!} Least they are super delicious {and hard to resist eating just one} right?!
I’m already seeing an uptick in pageviews on my Popsicle Stick Girl Scout Cookie Booth craft tutorial, so I decided to keep the fun going and make another fun themed kid craft idea inspired by the selling season.
So whether you are the girl scout leader OR you just want to make something fun with the kids today, I hope our original idea comes in handy for you!
Find all the details and instructions below! Happy crafting and hopefully you get some REAL Samoa cookies to enjoy soon! Don’t forget to also share pictures of your cookie creations with us! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing! I can’t wait to see what you make with your little crafter today! #gluedtomycrafts
PAIR YOUR SAMOA COCOKIE CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Girl Scout Cookie Truck
Craft Supplies:
- Paper Plates {small or large, one per cookie friend craft}
- Gold Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Brown Construction Paper
- School Glue
- Kid Friendly Scissors
- Large Wiggle Eyes {two per cookie friend craft}
- Pink/White Puffy Paint
Directions:
- First things first – paint the paper plate completely gold. This is the caramel in the cookie.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry.
- Now grab the brown construction paper and make small, thin strips which will be the “chocolate drizzle” of the cookie. Use scissors to trim them up if need be.
- When you have all the pieces you want, glue them to the paper plate you painted.
- Finally, to finish off the Samoa Cookie Friend, glue one some wiggle eyes and draw on a face with the puffy paint.
- When done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly for ALL to see!
Make it your own – hole punch some holes in the sides of the paper plate and add pipe cleaners for arms and legs!
