Cherry on Top

Why

Dip into a pretend food project that's the cream of the crop when it comes to inspiring imaginations and learning.

Steps

1. Pick out "flavors" of ice cream and choose matching colors of Crayola® Color Wonder™ Fingerpaint for each flavor, plus the Cherry on Top. Mix paint colors to get just the right colors. Paint Color Wonder paper in each of these colors.

2. Tear out as many scoops of ice cream as you like. Glue them to construction paper with a Crayola® Glue Stick.

3. Tear out the cherry and glue it on top of your ice cream picture!

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
