Free Printable Ice-creams – Origami You Can’t Fail

October 3, 2015 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

How amazing do these look? My daughter is absolutely obsessed with origami at the moment, and it’s become quite the craze in her classroom. It’s funny how origami has become the new loom bands—less messy but still with that same “fail” ratio that loom banding had. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a growl of frustration when one of her origami creations doesn’t quite turn out the way she imagined. But that’s the beauty of these crafts, isn’t it? There’s always room for improvement, and each fold brings you closer to success.

I absolutely love the idea of these ready-to-go printables for pretend play. They’re not only super cute but also incredibly easy to assemble, making them the perfect choice for kids who enjoy crafting without the stress of complicated instructions. These free ice cream printables are perfect for sparking imaginative play, and the folding instructions are so simple to follow, even for younger kids or those new to origami.

What makes these printables even better is how realistic they look! They’re almost good enough to eat, and I can totally see them being a huge hit for playtime. Whether your child is using them for a pretend ice cream parlor setup or just adding them to their collection of handmade origami treats, these printable creations add so much fun and creativity to the mix. It’s a great way to merge crafting with pretend play, allowing kids to not only perfect their folding skills but also engage in storytelling and imaginative scenarios.

The best part? You don’t have to worry about messy supplies or a ton of setup—just print, fold, and play. It’s the perfect way to keep kids entertained for hours while learning a valuable new skill, and as a parent, it’s an absolute win. Grab the free ice cream printable today and watch your kids’ faces light up as they create their very own delicious-looking, foldable ice cream treats!

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks. 

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game. 

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom. 

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more. 

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet. 

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
