Three-Cornered Cookie Basket

This craft makes a thoughtful Purim gift. Children will be eager to help bake real Hamantashen cookies!

1. Decorate the back side of a large white paper plate with Crayola® Washable Markers. Use pictures of Hamantashen and bright, festive colors for Purim. Fold the sides of the plate up to form a-three cornered basket. Ask an adult to staple the corners together.

2. Cut a strip of colorful construction paper using Crayola Scissors. Staple it to the plate for a handle.

3. To make imitation 3-cornered Hamantashen cookies, cut cookie-size triangles from construction paper. Color cotton balls with marker. Place cotton balls inside paper triangles for pretend colorful cookie fillings. Fold up the three corners of the cookies, and glue with Crayola School Glue. Dry. Arrange cookies artfully inside the basket.
