July is National Ice Cream Month, and it might be our favorite holiday. Get your littles in the spirit with this craft.
Materials
- White, brown, and red construction paper
- Paint
- Glue
Instructions
- Trace your child’s hand on white construction paper. Then paint the paper any color, and once it’s dried, cut out the handprint.
- Cut the brown paper into cone shapes. Have your kiddo help to glue the handprints to the top as the scoop, fingers pointing upside down.
- Cut out a red cherry shape from the red paper, and glue it to the top of your ice cream cone
- Pictures for your Qeepsake journal will be even sweeter than a double scoop!
Enjoy ice cream all month long as a family! Here are some pointers.
0-12 Month-Olds: It’s not safe for babies under 6 months to eat ice cream, and there are things to watch out for like honey, allergens, and added sugar. That’s ok — your baby will love watching as you snack on a cone!
12-24 Month-Olds: Now’s the time to let your kiddo try a few bites from your scoop — remember to capture the memory of their first bite in your Qeepsake journal!
24+ Month-Olds: Opt for softer flavors without crunchy add-ins. If your little has any allergies, look for alternative options. There are lots!
