Homemade Holiday 2015: Wooden Play Ice Cream Set for under $10

Is Christmas sneaking up on anyone else, or just me? With only a few days left, I’m scrambling to finish. One of my favorite quick and easy projects is this adorable wooden play ice cream cone set. It’s so stinkin’ easy, and fun to customize! I just grabbed a few supplies from the craft store, and after a couple of steps, I had cute cones!

Here’s my supply list:
• 4 pack of 2″ knobs
• 4 pack of flower pots
• 6″ of 3/4″ dowel (cut into four 1 1/2″ pieces)

Use wood glue and attach dowel pieces to the base of the knobs

This helps keep the ice cream inside the cone. Once it’s dry, you are ready for paint! It really is that simple. And if you use coupons or go on a 50% off day, this project is even cheaper. I already had the dowel left over from my Tiny Tot Tool Bench project, so I only spent $4 on supplies, making each cone $1 each!

I had a lot of fun choosing colors, and adding sprinkles and chocolate chips. You can really go crazy! I have one set painted with a “waffle” pattern on the cones, and another left plain. I think I like the plain set just a bit better.

So that’s it! If you’re looking for a fun toddler stocking stuffer, this easy little last-minute project is the one for you!
