Ice Cream Coloring Pages

Ice cream is the rare subject where a child's instinct, use every color, is actually correct. Real ice cream comes in mint green, bubblegum blue and rainbow sherbet, so nothing here can be colored wrong. These 14 ice cream coloring pages cover cones, sundaes, banana splits, floats, gelato cups and a full parlor counter. Every design downloads as a free printable PDF sized for US Letter paper.

Banana Split With Three Scoops and Toppings and Bowl of Rainbow Sherbet Scoops give the most color permission on a single sheet. Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bar on a Stick is the simplest and the fastest to finish. Cozy Ice Cream Parlor Counter Scene With Stools is the longest project, and Ice Cream Float in a Tall Glass With Whipped Cream is the best exercise in drawing something see-through.

The one technique worth passing on: a scoop looks like ice cream and not like a ball when its edge is irregular. Color right up to the drawn line at the top of the scoop but let the bottom edge stay slightly ragged where it meets the cone, and leave a small patch of bare paper on the side facing the light. Perfectly even filling makes it look like rubber.

The rest of the set is the parlor menu. Ice Cream Sundae, Waffle Cone With Scoops, Soft Serve Cone and Ice Cream Sandwich are the single-item sheets and the quickest to finish, while Ice Cream Truck, Ice Cream Shop and Ice Cream Cake are the busier scenes. A note on the cones: a waffle cone is not one flat tan. It is a lattice of raised squares, so lay a light tan base across the whole cone, then darken only the grooves between the squares and leave the raised centers pale. Two tones and a few extra minutes turn a brown triangle into something that looks baked.

If your colorist wants another sweet shape with a lot of sprinkles on it, the donut coloring pages run from one plain ring to a tray of thirty five. For a cold sweet drink rather than a cold sweet food, the boba coloring pages cover kawaii bubble tea cups, four animals holding one and a boba mandala.
