Required materials:
School cone shell (homemade or available in stores)
Ribbon (narrow and wide)
various fabrics
Scissors
double-sided tape
glue stick
optional:
Stickers
small gems and figures to stick on and decorate
colored pencils
AND DEFINITELY:
Us! The Little Friends to download, print, and cut out.
Crafting instructions:
Choose your favorite Little Friends from the templates and, with the help of your parents, print them on slightly thicker paper. Then cut out the figures and glue them firmly onto your school cone shell. How many Little Friends you want to attach to your school cone is entirely up to you. Not enough? Then decorate your school cone with a bit of glitter, with cords, or whatever else you like.
Our tip: Create a whole world on your school cone with the Little Friends! A zoo … a town … a soccer field …
Attach a trim to the top edge of the school cone. Whether made from gift ribbon, decorative ribbon, fabric or paper: simply cut a strip to the right length and stick it to the top edge of the school cone with double-sided tape.
Clearly: What's inside is at least as important as what's on the school cone. Our Little Friends Ariane and Sebastian fit perfectly into the cone: they already come with their own school cone and are therefore wonderful as a gift for starting school!
Finally, the nicely filled school cone is tied closed with a narrow ribbon.
PS: A school cone is a great gift for any occasion and for anyone: for starting school or kindergarten – for yourself or as a surprise for your friends and family. Of course, those of you whose school start was some time ago are also welcome to design your very own Little Friends school cone! And the little ones in nurseries and kindergartens who are already looking forward to their big day are included too. Your siblings are invited to help you enthusiastically – and better yet, to get creative themselves!
We wish you lots of fun crafting and hope that our school cones — and of course their contents — will really sweeten your start at school!
