Allergy Friendly Ice Cream Sugar Cone Thanksgiving Teepee’s

Homeschool and Thanksgiving

If you’re familiar with my blog, you probably know that we are a homeschooling family. We took this past week to review the history of Thanksgiving. Since I have 5 kids that are 10 and under, much of it was done reading children’s story books about the history of Thanksgiving and introducing the little children to the Pilgrims and the Native Americans.

Allergy Friendly Edible Food Crafts

Finger painting and other arts and crafts can be fun, but ya just can’t beat a fun activity that also involves food, especially when it is allergy friendly!

Using Leftover Halloween Sprinkles

So we did just that, we made teepee’s out of sugar cones, chocolate chips, fall colored sprinkles, and pretzel sticks. This recipe is seriously so easy. Plus, it was a win because we used leftover sprinkles from Halloween!

Gluten Free Options

If you are gluten-free, the brand Joy ice cream cones can be found at most large grocery chains, WalMart and Amazon. More notes on options for making this tailored to fit your family, in the recipe notes.
