You'll need:
- cardstock and/or construction paper
- craft sticks
- scissors
- glue
- markers (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Trace the shape of an ice cream treat onto the cardstock or construction paper. Cut it out using scissors.
- Glue the craft stick to the back of the ice cream shape. Draw the ice cream "drips" for the top or the side (as shown in the pictures). Cut them out and glue onto the ice cream shape. Alternately, your child could draw them on with markers.
- To make an accordion-style treat, cut the shape out a little larger and fold the sides in to meet in the middle. Put a dab of glue inside to hold the shape flat.
