PAIR YOUR POPSICLE STICK CRAFT WITH —> Cupcake Liner Ice Cream – Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Ice Cream Cone Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per ice cream cone}
* School Glue/Stapler
* Colorful Buttons
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Colored Cardstock Paper {we used tan/yellow/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 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!
