materials:

Egg carton
Craft scissors
Washable kids paint (brown/beige)
Paintbrush
1.5″ pom-poms (assorted colors)
Pipecleaners (assorted colors)
Liquid school glue
Paper plate
Q-tip

Instructions:

Begin by cutting out the pointy, dividing pieces of the egg carton. These will be your ice cream cones.

Next, paint the cones brown/beige and let dry.

Now, place a bit of liquid school glue onto the paper plate and arrange the q-tip. You can skip this step with older kids and simply use a squeezable glue bottle.
Using the q-tip, apply the glue to the inside of the cone along the edges. Place a pom-pom inside to glue and let set.

Cut up the assorted pipecleaners into small pieces. These will be the sprinkles.
Lastly, apply a little bit of glue to the top of the ice cream and sprinkle a few of the sprinkles on top. Let dry.
