Handprint Ice Cream Cone Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per ice cream cone}
* School Glue/Stapler
* Colorful Buttons
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Colored Cardstock {we used tan/yellow/purple/orange/pink}
optional embellishments – small craft sparkles, glitter, rhinestones etc.

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 piece you want to make.
* Once those are done drying grab your tan cardstock paper and scissors.
* Go ahead and cut out a triangular piece for inside the popsicle stick design.
* At this time you should also grab the remaining cardstock and trace/trim out your child’s handprints for the ice cream part. We also cut out a cherry for on top!
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Ice Cream – have children glue/staple their paper pieces in place, as well as any other embellishments they see fit.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
