Square cardboard with lines for graham cracker

How to Make this Easy S’more Craft!

First, let’s make the graham crackers for our s’mores using a recycled cardboard box. Cut (2) 3 x 3-inch squares out of the cardboard box using your scissors. Next, using a ruler as a guide, draw a straight line down the center of each square. Finally, add sporadic dots to finish the graham cracker look. Set aside the “graham crackers.”
Now let’s prepare our chocolate! Take a sheet of brown craft foam and cut it into 2 4 x 4-inch squares. Set the “chocolate” aside.

Assemble Your S’more Craft!

Now let’s assemble our s’mores!

Take one of your previously made crackers and coat the backside using a glue stick. Place 6 cotton balls onto the glue and press to secure.
Grab your chocolate square and add a generous amount of glue to one side. Center and press it on top of the cotton balls.
Add glue to the remaining side of the chocolate and press the remaining 6 cotton balls to the chocolate.
Lastly, add glue to the backside of another cracker and secure it to the cotton balls. Press your entire creation together like a sandwich to ensure it is secure.

Decorate Your S’more!

It’s time to bring your s’mores to life! Affix 2 googly eyes and draw a cute smile on the front of the cracker to add some character.
Lastly, glue a wooden craft stick to the back of the s’more to give it some added movement!
Allow your s’mores to dry for at least 5 minutes.

Pro Tip!

Fluff and stretch your cotton balls to give them a fluffy marshmallow look!

Can I make this easier for young children?

Of course! I recommend pre-cutting the “graham crackers” and “chocolate squares” if working with younger children. This will help make it easier so they just need to assemble this easy craft and decorate!

This is also a great tip if you need to save time!

Recyle!
