    Materials Needed: paper plate, cardstock paper, markers, scissors, glue stick

    Step 1: First, gather your supplies! Print your free cutouts onto cardstock paper. You can print a boy, girl, or both! The boy comes with an extra beach ball cutout and the girl comes with a fun popsicle! Fold your paper plate in half and cut out the center circle.

    Step 2: Next, fill in your paper plate. You can use markers and crayons, or you can have fun sponge painting. I decided to sponge paint with yellow paint. Then, cut out your craft pieces. Print Ice Cream Coloring Pages and a Fun Ice Cream Number Hunt to keep your learning fun all summer long!
