Our handprint & popsicle stick ice cream cone craft is not only simple and easy-to-follow, but it also makes such a wonderfully sentimental keepsake.

Craft Supplies:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
  • School Glue
  • Craft Buttons or Sequins
  • Craft Scissors
  • Colored Cardstock Paper

Directions:

  • First grab three popsicle sticks {three per ice cream} and glue them together to look like a triangle.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Repeat for each ice cream piece you want to make today.
  • While those popsicle stick pieces are drying, grab your paper materials and scissors.
  • Start with the tan cardstock and cut out a triangle piece for inside the painted popsicle stick design. This will be the ice cream “cone.”
  • At this time you should also grab the remaining cardstock and trace/trim out your child’s handprint for the ice cream part. We also cut out a cherry for on top!
  • Go ahead and set aside your paper pieces till later.
  • When the popsicle stick triangle is dry enough, go ahead and grab your craft paint, paint brush & paper plate.
  • Squirt some paint on the paper plate.
  • Go ahead and paint the triangle shape completely brown.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Ice Cream – have children glue their paper pieces in place, on the painted popsicle stick shape, as well as any other embellishments they see fit.
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying 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!
