Need: paper, Pom Poms,
Directions: Students make ice cream cones by folding brown paper into cone shape.
Staple or glue edge of cone. Students then sort pompoms by color. Use ice cream scoops to scoop “ice cream” into cone. Count the number of scoops it takes to fill the cone with one flavor of ice cream (Example: sort brown, white, and red pompoms. Scoop only red or “strawberry” ice cream into cone. It takes __ scoops to fill cone).
Glue squeezed into cone before filling it with pompoms will help hold pompoms in place. Student’s cones may be displayed in a decorated cardboard box turned upside down with several small holes (approx. 2″) cut into it. Place cones in holes for ice cream cone holder. Students can get creative by helping with decorating box and coming up with a name for their ice cream shop. The name can be displayed on the box.
