2.) Trace cardboard cone shape onto construction paper.
3.) Cut out the construction paper cone and decorate.
4.) Glue the decorated paper cone onto the cardboard cone.
5.) Glue a cotton round onto the cardboard ice cream.
6.) Using a popsicle stick, paint the colored (optional) glue over the entire cotton round.
7.) Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the ice cream is covered as desired.
8.) Let the ice cream cone dry. Then paint with your choice color of craft paint. Finally, glue on the red pom pom as the cherry.
