Supplies Needed:
- Brown & bright colored construction paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pencils (to trace shapes)
- Markers (to draw on "waffle" part of cone & to decorate ice cream)
- Red or pink craft pom-poms or felt (to make a "cherry" on top)
- White Glitter to make ice cream look "icy" (optional)
- Real sprinkles (we used brown rice to make "chocolate" sprinkles!)
- Cone and ice cream scoop tracers (you can make your own out of card board for the kids to trace to make the project easier!)
- Separate paper plates to shake excess glitter and/or sprinkles onto
Directions:
- Have the kids select two colors of bright construction paper to use for the ice cream scoops. If you want to make more than two scoops, go for it! :-) Kids will also need to choose a brown shade of construction paper for the cone.
- Use tracers and a pencil to create the cone and scoop shapes on construction paper (or, kids can free draw them). You can make your own tracers out of card board for the kids to trace to make the project easier!
- Cut out cones and scoops and glue together. Some kids will need instruction on which part to glue first. Also remind the kids that the scallop part of the ice cream scoops faces downward ... otherwise you may end up with some "upside down ice cream cones!" :-)
- Next, the kids can draw on the "waffle" part of the cone with a brown marker. Also with markers, have the kids add details to their scoops.
- Then, use either a red/pink craft pom pom as a cherry & glue to the top of the ice cream cone. We ran out of pom poms this year at summer school, so we just used some red and pink felt we had laying around to cut circle "cherries."
- The last step is to add glitter and sprinkles! It's a good idea to model how much glue is needed for this part ... some kids will use GOBS of glue, others won't use enough. Modeling is ALWAYS a good thing! :-)
- Of course, let dry overnight!
