How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone: Easy, Step-by-Step Art Lesson for Kids

More about drawing Ice Cream Cones

Many students first learn how to draw an ice cream cone by starting with a triangle and adding a few stacked circles on top. It’s a great approach for beginners who are still learning how to control their pencil and turn simple shapes into recognizable objects.

When students are ready for something a little more realistic—and perhaps a little more delicious-looking—this soft-serve ice cream cone is a fun next step. Instead of drawing round scoops in a waffle cone, they’ll learn how to create a tall swirl of soft ice cream, complete with curved layers and a curly tip.

Once the basic shape is finished, students can have fun inventing their own flavors and color combinations. Chocolate and vanilla, strawberry swirl, rainbow sherbet, or something completely imaginary—the possibilities are endless!
