Ice Cream Cones (from: eHow.com)
Teach kids how to make their favorite ice cream cones by pre-cutting large cone shapes out of brown construction paper and "scoops" of ice cream out of pastel colored paper. Tell the kids to make their favorite ice cream cone with up to five flavors of ice cream. Cut pieces of paper into trangular shapes to use as sprinkles on their ice cream.
