This Ice Cream Cone Printable is a sweet summer craft for kids who love to cut, paste, and create. Kids can build their own paper ice cream cones with scoops, cones, and toppings, making it a fun way to practice scissor skills while designing a pretend frozen treat.

This easy summer craft is great for home, camp, preschool, daycare, or classroom activities. Print out enough pieces for everyone, then let kids mix and match their favorite ice cream flavors and toppings.

Fun Facts

The ice cream cone is often linked to the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. One popular story says an ice cream vendor ran out of dishes and teamed up with a waffle vendor, who rolled warm waffles into cones to hold the ice cream.

Ice cream cones became popular because they were easy to carry, fun to eat, and did not need a bowl or spoon. That makes them just about perfect for summer fun.

Supplies

White paper or cardstock
Printer
Scissors
Glue stick
Crayons, markers, or colored pencils

Instructions

Print out the ice cream scoops, cones, and toppings.
Have kids color the pieces before cutting them out, or print them on colored paper for a quicker version.
Carefully cut out the ice cream cone pieces. Younger children may need help with the smaller toppings.
Glue the cone onto a sheet of paper, then stack the ice cream scoops on top.
Add sprinkles, cherries, or other toppings to finish each ice cream cone printable.
Let the finished cones dry flat before displaying them.

Craft Tips

Cardstock works well if you want the pieces to be sturdier.

For extra fun, kids can write their ice cream flavor names beside their finished cone.

This printable template can also be used for a pretend ice cream shop activity, a summer bulletin board, or a fun rainy day craft.

Teacher Friendly Educational Extension

Turn this ice cream cone printable into a simple classroom activity by having kids count how many scoops they added to their cone. Older children can create patterns with scoop colors, such as pink, brown, pink, brown, or sort toppings by shape and size.

For a writing activity, ask each child to name their ice cream creation and write one sentence describing it. A classroom display titled “Our Sweet Summer Treats” would make a colorful bulletin board for summer crafts or end-of-year fun.
