Steps:

  1. Open up your egg box to reveal all those ice cream cornets.
  2. Egg Carton Ice Cream Cone Toy
     
  3. These just need to be cut out with your scissors.

  7. Next take a ball of yarn and your fork to make your first pompom. Cut off a longish length of yarn and pass it through the middle of the fork tines.

  15. Cut the loops.

  17. At this point it won't be tied tight enough so wrap the tie ends round to the opposite side and tie them again just once. Do this once more and pull as tight as you can without snapping the yarn. Finish with one more final knot to secure.

  21. Oops - that's a bit small for the cone. But that's OK - it can be trimmed down.

  25. If you want the pom pom permanently on the cone use your glue to attach it.

  27. To make an ice cream shop your child will probably prefer it if the "ice cream scoops" are not glued in place. Make several and put them in a pot. Use the egg box lid and cut holes in it to make a display stand for several ice creams.
