Fluffy ice cream

[Mysterious Art] Fluffy Ice Cream #preschoolideas #craft #DIY #daycare #artsandcrafts #indoorplay #making #kindergartenteacher

Recommended when you want to make a three-dimensional piece! Here’s a fluffy ice cream idea.

Mix shaving foam with glue and a coloring agent to make foam.

Use a bit less glue than shaving foam to keep it fluffy.

Cut construction paper into a cone shape, draw a pattern, and attach it to the base.

Pile the foam on top of the cone to represent the ice cream, then add stickers or drawings in the blank spaces on the backing paper to finish.

Sprinkling powdered pastel on the foam as a topping might make it look pretty.

Ice Cream Kendama

[Craft] Let's make and play — Ice Cream Kendama

Delicious ice cream turned into a kendama! Here’s a craft idea where, if you succeed at the kendama, it becomes an ice cream.

Draw a cone pattern on brown construction paper and mark the middle of either long side.

Align the end of a piece of kite string with the mark and tape it down, then roll the paper into a cone shape and secure it with tape.

It’s safer to tape down the stringed area as well.

Attach the other end of the kite string to the center of a sheet of newspaper with tape, and crumple the newspaper into a ball.

Cover it with your favorite color of origami paper from the top and secure it to make the ice cream part.

Draw patterns on the ice cream, and you’re done!

Collage Ice Cream

[Craft for Toddlers] Collage Ice Cream 🍦🤍 [Wall Display]

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.

Summer item! Straw hat

Summer Item: Easy! Origami 'Straw Hat' (Hiragana Guide)

Let me show you a simple way to fold a summery, breezy straw hat.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it up, then fold the two left edges to meet the crease.

Next, fold the remaining corner inward to form an isosceles triangle.

Flip the paper over and fold up the base of the triangle by about 2 cm.

Fold that section down in half, then fold it up again in half to create the brim.

Fold down the top point of the triangle to shape the hat, tuck in both corners to round it out, and you’re done!

Easy way to fold a seashell (origami)

[Summer Origami] Easy Seashell 3 Folding Method with Audio Commentary ☆ Origami Shell 3 Tutorial / Tatsukuri

Let’s make colorful, eye-catching summer seashells.

Start by folding the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Fold the left and right corners down to meet at the center bottom.

Next, fold the two middle corners outward to meet the outer corners.

Fold the left and right edges in to align with the center crease, then fold down the small triangular flap.

Again, fold the lower left and right corners in along the crease.

Fold the top corner so both sides are the same height, then tuck the corners to refine the seashell shape—and you’re done.

Enjoy crafting as you work with your hands.

Using colored pens to add patterns to the shell gives it extra dimension and is highly recommended.
