Hands-On Houston: Puffy Paint Ice Cream Cones
![Hands-On Houston: Puffy Paint Ice Cream Cones](https://static.mommypoppins.com/styles/image960x650/s3/houston-center-for-contemporary-craft-080523-hands-on-houston-puffy-paint-ice-cream-cones.jpg)
Beat the heat by creating a colorful ice cream-themed craft indoors at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
Participants will make puffy paint through everyday art materials, scoop “ice cream” paint onto a cardboard “cone,” and add colorful “sprinkles.”
This activity takes place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. This project takes about 24 hours to dry, so it will still be wet when it goes home. A plate will be provided for easy transport. This is not an edible project.
HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held on the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. Learn more here.
