Things You’ll Need to Make the Ice Cream Craft
- A few potatoes (choose a round one)
- Knife and cutting board
- Washable Non-Toxic Paint in various colours
- Paint tray or plate
- Paint brushes
- White Paper
- Sprinkles (optional, for extra flair!)
- Paper towels (for clean-up)
Step-By-Step Instructions to Make Potato Stamp Ice Cream
Take an A5 size white paper and paste a cone cut out of brown craft paper on it. Draw a pattern on the cone with a pencil.
Now it’s time to stamp scoops over the cone!
Slice the potato in half to create the shape of the scoop. We need three to four pieces, so we can use one for each paint.
Pour different colours of paint onto your tray or plate.
Dip your potato stamp into the paint so that it covers the entire surface. You can use a paintbrush to fill in any small areas if needed.
Let the fun begin! Press your potato stamp firmly onto your paper above the cone, creating colourful ice cream scoops. Experiment with different colours and create a whole ice cream sundae masterpiece!
We have used yellow for Mango, pink for strawberry, and brown for chocolate! Think of classic ice cream flavours like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint.
For an extra touch of festivity, add some sprinkles while the paint is still wet. No need for glue for this.
Have your little ones create their dream ice cream combinations!
Allow your potato stamp ice cream masterpiece to dry completely before displaying or gifting it to someone special.
It’s a simple, inexpensive activity that’s sure to bring smiles and cool, colourful fun!
So grab your potatoes, unleash your inner artist, and get ready to create a world of delicious, stamped-up treats!
Ice Cream Craft Variations to Try:
- Instead of a Cone with brown craft Paper, you can use a cone stamp carved out of potato and dipped in paint.
- Use fluffy paint for chocolate sauce
- Create an ice cream party scene by stamping cones and scoops onto a larger sheet of paper, complete with toppings and decorations.
