What's In This Picture

This busy scene shows a detailed ice cream truck menu packed with delicious choices. You can spot a rocket pop, a frozen fruit popsicle, and a choco banana popsicle. There is even a funny little monster popsicle that looks like a friendly character. For those who love cones, look for the swirl cone, the sprinkle cone, and a massive triple scoop cone. If you prefer a cup, there is a fruit bowl, a decadent sundae, and a thick milkshake. Beside the menu, a cash register and a jar sit ready for the shopkeeper to take orders. The truck is beautifully decorated with clouds, stars, and a rainbow that stretches across the side. High above, the sun shines down on this happy summer day.

Coloring Tips

To make the ice cream look extra tasty, try using soft pastel colors like mint green, pale pink, and lemon yellow for the swirl ice cream. You can add bright, vibrant colors to the rainbow and the rocket pop to make them stand out against the truck. For the sprinkle cone, use tiny dots of many different colors to represent the toppings. If you want to show texture, use a light brown crayon for the waffle patterns on the cones. The milkshake and sundae look great with a bit of light blue or grey shading near the bottom to give them a 3D effect. Using a golden yellow for the sun will help set the warm, summer mood for the whole page.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the first ice cream trucks started appearing in the 1920s? Before that, people used to buy ice cream from horse-drawn carts! Some modern trucks use special music boxes to play famous tunes so that everyone in the neighborhood knows the treats are coming. The most popular flavor in the world is usually vanilla, but on a menu like this, you can choose any flavor you can imagine.

Try This!

After finishing the page, try creating your own price list for the items on the menu to practice math skills by buying different treats. You could also draw yourself standing in line in front of the truck waiting to order a triple scoop cone. Another fun idea is to design your own new popsicle shape in the empty space around the truck.
