Ice Cream Sellers Hat

Posted 2013-11-06 by Jane Streetfollow
Create an easy ice cream seller's hat and have fun making a pretend ice cream shop in the garden. Kids will love serving real ice cream in cones - or try making some prerend ones out of of play dough if the weather is chilly!



Time: 20 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Thin card or thick paper for hat headband
  • Thick cardboard (e.g. from brown corrugated box)
  • Cotton wool balls
  • Hessian material
  • Popsicle stick
  • Brown pen
  • PVA craft glue
  • We used hessian material to make a wafer texture. You could also draw on criss crosses onto brown cardboard with a brown pen.

    Method
  • Cut two ice cream shapes out of thick corrugated cardboard.



  • Stick a scrap of hessian material over the cone area and trim.





  • Glue on 3 cotton wool balls to make the scoops of ice cream.
  • Colour in the popsicle stick with brown pen. Cut in half to make two chocolate flake sticks. Stick one onto the back of each ice cream or poke into one of the corrugated cardboard channels.



  • Cut two strips of thin card to make a headband. Each strip should be a few inches longer than the width of the head.



  • Put both strips together and pinch the two ends. Tape the two edge pieces (top, bottom and sides) to fit the head comfortably.



  • Glue the ice creams on and write "ICE CREAM" on the front.



  • Your ice cream seller's hat is ready to wear. Make a sign and set up a little stall to seve your real or pretend ice creams.
