Craft Supplies:

  • Large Blank Canvas
  • Washable Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Paint Brushes
  • Baby Wipes

Directions:

  • First squirt your various shades of craft paint on a paper plate.
  • Depending on the look you like, you can either free-style the ice cream cone OR use your child’s footprint as the cone. Regardless of what direction you take, the cone is a great starting point.
  • Next paint your child’s hand and press it down on the canvas {near the ice cream cone} to give the look of ice cream.
  • Repeat for how many layers you want/the look you like.
  • Use baby wipes to remove excess paint from your child’s hands {with a quick trip to the sink as well!}
  • If desired, add other embellishments you see fit {like a cherry on top, sprinkles or even a fun dot pattern around the canvas}
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Then display your finished handprint ice cream canvas and/or gift it away proudly!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
