How to make doll-sized snow cones

Doll snow cones for a fair, playground,
swimming pool or beach.

       Our dolls love to pretend to eat snow cones and these are easy enough for any child to make with just a little guidance. I have made these examples for the 4th of July parade in Dollville. But I'm sure many young folks would like them just as well for the local beach or playground.

Supply List:

• decorative sheet of paper
• template or small jar to trace a circle
• Small sized Styrofoam balls
• transparent glitter
• tacky craft gluee
• acrylic paint colors (your choice of flavors)
• Mod Podge

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Draw a small circle on the back of decorative paper and cut it out.
2. Cut this circle in half exactly. Do this by folding it once in half, unfolding the circle and then cutting along the crease line in the paper. Two halves will make two cone sleeves.
3. Now gently turn the half circle in on itself to shape a "cone" and tape this in place on the inside of the cone where the tape cannot be seen.
4. Trim the top edge of the paper cone so that it is even all the way around the rim.
5. Using tacky glue, paste a Styrofoam ball inside of the cone. Let dry.
6. Paint the foam balls in color you like. Different colors represent different flavors usually: yellow for lemon, red for cherry, blue for blueberry and orange for orange flavoring.
7. After the acrylic painted areas have dried squeeze on a thin layer of glue and sprinkle it with transparent glitter. This will give the snow cone a ''frozen'' appearance. 
8. Brush on a layer of Mod Podge on every surface of the doll-size cones to seal for play.
