I have curated 4 types of Cookie Monster crafts in the 1st part of this blog post. Below are the rest of the crafts:

Cookie Monster coloring pages
Kids of all ages will enjoy coloring pages after pages of free Cookie Monster printables.

Coloring can also replace screen time, which can be especially helpful if you're trying to get your children to cut back on TV shows, video games, or mobile devices.
