Paint ice cream scoops

Use your puffy paint to paint your ice cream.

Your ice cream scoops will take a few hours to dry.

Now glue your ice cream cone onto your two scoops of ice cream.

This fun space shuttle paper craft is a great summer craft for kids or for school to accompany a solar system unit. The space shuttle wing popping off the page gives this paper craft a fun 3D effect to it. The space shuttle craft would look great up on display on a classroom bulletin board with a blasting off theme.
