Making your own paper ice creams is a simple summer paper craft activity for kids.  We made a few to sell from an ice cream parlour we had made from a giant cardboard box.

How to Make a Paper Ice Cream Cone

  • Glue and let dry.
  • Use a brown pen to create the waffle effect on the cone.
  • Scrunch up a piece of tissue paper into a ball as a scoop of ice cream and secure on top of the cone.
