There are a few different ways to “complete” this craft but it all starts with printing the provided file on WHITE cardstock paper.

Next, kids will color the design and write down their reasons for “loving” the lucky recipient of the card. When I first envisioned this craft, my goal was to make it low-pressure for kids, giving them the freedom to fill in as much or as little as they wanted. This flexible design allows kids to personalize the handmade card however they like. Think of their messages as “sprinkles” on an ice cream cone. They can pile them on or keep it simple! The choice is theirs!

Another thing I kept in mind was that they can also add the extra element of a handprint cutout or skip that part if they choose. This allows older kids, whose hands might be too big for the paper, to participate as well.

And that’s it! That’s how kids can recreate this craft idea. It’s doesn’t get any easier than this! This ice cream cone I love you because craft can happen within minutes and I sure hope you give it a try today!

Whether it’s a rainy day activity or a heartfelt gift for a loved one, our latest “I Love You Because” Handprint Ice Cream keepsake printable is sure to be a hit. It’s fun, simple, and full of love, making it the perfect craft for kids of all ages!

So on that note, time to gather those supplies, get creative, and scoop up some wonderful memories! Happy crafting, my friends!
