Many children probably want to eat lots of ice cream in the summer! So why not make your own ice cream and play shop? Let the kids freely create their own ice creams—cup ice cream, cone ice cream, ice pops, and more.

Draw designs on paper cups to make the cups, and make the ice cream part by crumpling tissue paper and sticking small stickers on it.

For the cones, draw patterns on construction paper, roll it into a cone shape, and secure it.

Here are some ice cream craft ideas that also let you enjoy making collages.

Cut the cup or cone bases out of cardboard, then decorate them by drawing patterns with pens or using colored paper.

For the ice cream scoops, basically cut circles out of construction paper, and have fun adding various toppings with small pieces of colored paper or stickers.

It’s also cute to make “collage ice cream” by gluing torn newspaper or flyers onto the round paper scoops.

Once your ice cream is done, attach it to the base to finish.

[Pom-Pom Fun!] Make a two-scoop ice cream with sponge stamping 🍨 Preschool craft | Childcare | Ideas for educators | Easy craft with kids | Stamping #IceCream #PreschoolTeacher

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s make ice cream using sponge stamps! First, take a sheet of drawing paper and dab the paint-covered stamp to create patterns.

You can use any colors you like.

Once the paint is dry, cut the paper into the shape of ice cream.

Cut brown construction paper into a cone shape, draw the cone pattern, and paste it onto a backing sheet.

Then stick the stamped ice cream on top of the cone, add patterns in the empty spaces with crayons, and you’re done! You can make several scoops and stack them to create two- or three-scoop ice cream, too.

[For 4-year-olds] Seasonal Origami: Ice Cream

I’ll show you how to fold a cold and tasty ice cream.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle.

Open it once, then fold the corners in so they meet the center line.

Fold the bottom corner up to overlap the top corner, then flip it over.

Fold about one quarter of the larger triangle to separate the ice cream from the cone.

Finally, flip it over and fold the tips slightly to refine the shape—your ice cream is complete! It’s also fun to use colored pens to color the flavor you like and add toppings.
