Super popular all over the world! Cold and sweet Ice cream

Ice cream is a cold treat made by mixing milk, cream, and sugar, and whipping air into it while it cools. When you put it in your mouth, the melty sweetness and chill spread all over, making you feel so happy! There are so many flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

The history and origin of Ice cream

Ice cream has a very long history. Long ago in ancient China and ancient Rome, people started making it by mixing snow or ice brought from mountains with honey, fruit juice, and milk. In the past, it was a very special, fancy treat that only kings and nobles could eat. In the 19th century, machines to make Ice cream were invented, and everyone in the world could enjoy it!

Ice cream around the world

There are many kinds of Ice cream around the world with different textures and ways to make them!

• Gelato (Italy): Made with lots of fruit juice and milk! It has less fat than regular Ice cream and is super smooth.
• Dondurma (Turkey): This Ice cream stretches way out like a rice cake! It melts slowly and is very sticky.
• Soft-serve (USA): Freshly made, soft Ice cream! It is swirled right out of a special machine.

Choose colors to match the flavors!

Picking colors for your Ice cream coloring page is super fun when you imagine what flavor it is.

• The Ice cream part: Try painting cream or light yellow for vanilla, brown for chocolate, pink for strawberry, and green for green tea. Making marble swirls or adding a second scoop to make it a double is awesome too!
• Cones and cups: Painting crunchy waffle cones with light brown or yellowish-brown makes them look tasty. Try tracing the crisscross pattern carefully, too.
• Toppings: Add colorful sprinkles, a red cherry, or gooey chocolate sauce to make your Ice cream look extra fancy.

Tricks to make it look yummy

Let's show how cold and smooth the Ice cream is!

• Shiny light: Leave a tiny bit of white paper unpainted on the round part of the Ice cream. This makes it look shiny in the light!
• Adding shadows: Color a little darker where the Ice cream scoops overlap or under the cone. This makes it pop out at you!

Let's add a fun background

Draw a cool and fun world in the background! You could draw a hot summer sun, a cute Ice cream shop, or an ice kingdom. Adding sparkly lights or chilly steam lines is also great.

Tips for enjoying your coloring page!

It is super fun to use your own special colors! Try painting a rainbow Ice cream that isn't real, or even a space Ice cream. Paint whatever makes you say, "I wish I could eat an Ice cream like this!"

The secret behind stretchy Turkish Ice cream

The reason Turkish Ice cream, "Dondurma," stretches so far is because it has powdered roots from an orchid plant called "salep." When this powder mixes with water, it gets super sticky. This stops the Ice cream from melting quickly and makes it stretchy and chewy!

Ice cream has no "best-by date"?!

Actually, packages of Ice cream sold in stores usually don't have a best-by date (a date that tells you when you need to eat it by). Ice cream is kept in super cold places below minus 18 degrees Celsius, so germs can't grow and the flavor doesn't go bad. That means as long as you keep it cold, you can eat it and it will always be delicious!

How crunchy "cones" were born

A long time ago, Ice cream was served in glass dishes. But at a big fair in America in 1904, Ice cream was so popular that they ran out of dishes! So, a baker making waffles next door rolled a waffle into a cone shape and put the Ice cream on top. That was the start of the Ice cream cone!
