Puffy Paint Ice Cream Craft Instructions
Step 1:
Cut a V shape out of your brown construction paper.
Step 2:
Here’s a fun part… you get to crumble up the paper! Try not to tear it but squish it all up. Then flatten it out. This is your ice cream cone and by crumbling it up, it makes it look a little more like a real waffle cone. You can also use a marker and draw diagonal lines.
Step 3:
Using your container and spoon, squirt some shaving cream, liquid glue, and a paint color of your first ice cream scoop.
Step 4:
Glue your ice cream cone to the bottom portion of your paper and start adding your first ice cream scoop. Here we have created a yummy Strawberry scoop. What flavors are you creating?
Step 5:
You can add as many scoops as you want (or can fit on your paper). If you want to change the color of your scoops, repeat Step #3 and add another wonderful drop or two of your acrylic paint colors.
Step 6:
Now for the toppings! Here is where you can get very creative… Do you want to add some bright colored pony beads? Or maybe you’d like to add glitter, or gems. How about adding all of them like our friend here did.
Step 7:
Let dry completely and now you can touch your puffy paint creations. How does it feel?
There are several variations of this craft that you can create with your group. Add lines to the cone with a marker. Or, add smaller beads as sprinkles and extra toppings!
You can also let your ice cream scoops cover your whole page! This creative activity can be used with wide range of ages. Our youngest group was with 2-year old’s and even adults can enjoy. So, grab your supplies and happy creating!
