I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice cream!











I had totally forgotten about these fun ice cream hand prints!

This is a fun and easy craft and perfect for the preschool/toddler set!

First have your child pick some colored paper to represent the ice cream... Maybe they want a color to represent their favorite kind of ice cream. Outline their hand with a pencil and then cut around the hand print. Draw a large triangle to represent the cone, and cut it out. Or if you have no brown paper, simply color your cone brown as Alexander did above.
Glue cone on to paper then glue hand prints on to paper. As you'll see above it looks best when the fingers are together and the thumbs are facing in, as opposed to outward, however Alexander doesn't play by the rules and love the fact that his fingers looked like "drips from melting ice cream!"
He chose to decorate his with a cherry and a bunch of sprinkles!

Also fun is making ice cream on sticks collages. Clean your ice cream sticks and save them. For the next you'll need an ice cream stick and a piece of paper cut out to look like an ice cream on a stick.
On a piece of white paper glue the stick, then glue the "ice cream" and then decorate as you wish!
