Directions:
- First things first – squirt a few circular swirls of WHITE craft paint in the center of your BLUE cardstock. You don’t need a lot. Maybe three to five squirts.
- Have children take their fork {AKA – the paint brush} and spread the paint ALL around to make a “ball” shape. Just make sure they keep the paint on the paper but they can move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle they like.
- Once they are done creating the “ice cream” go ahead and sprinkle a little bit of loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- Set it aside for now.
- Now grab the remaining cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out a large hat, eyes, nose and of course – the ice cream cone shape from the printable.
- Finally – the last step of this fork painted snowman craft! Glue your cardstock pieces and ice cream cutout to the painted piece of paper. The embellishments will go ON the painted design, the cone will go UNDER it.
- Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
