How to Prepare the Cookie Can

Start with buying a can of Pringles and eating them all – that is what makes this my favorite Father’s Day gift ever!

Next, clean the inside of your Pringles can. Then, cut the scrapbook paper to fit the outside of the can and secure it to the outside of the can using tape.

Cut the ribbon with your scissors and tie around the top of the can. Trace the lid of the can on the scrapbook paper and cut it out. Write a message on the circle and place it on the underside of the lid.

Next comes the fun part! Make cookies with your students or child and allow them to cool.

When the cookies are cool, layer them in the can with tissue or wax paper.
