Summer is here, and this means that children have school holidays and will be more at home. We all know how good it is to share the best moments in the open air with them, but sometimes it is not possible to make one plan after another to keep the amused. So, in this handicraft activity, we will show you how to make a very amusing, colourful and summer-time game in 4 simple steps: Ice creams that are bats to play with balloons! ultima2 MATERIALS: material APLI EVA rubber in different colours APLI silicone glue APLI scissors (and a cutter) APLI Jumbo lollipop sticks size 150X18mm APLI stickers (option for decorating) Ice lolly template (click to download) Step 1  Download this  Ice lolly template, cut out at least 8 from the EVA rubber, which is what you will need for the ice lolly bats. (If you have a steady hand, it is not necessary to download them and print the template, you can do it by hand without any problem).    1_polo 2_polo Step 2 Stick the EVA rubber templates together with silicone glue. To achieve the runny effect, you must cut another two pieces of EVA rubber with wavy edges, one smaller than the other, always respecting the width of the original template. Stick the large wavy piece to the front and the smaller one onto it. As you can see in the photo.   4_polo Step 3: Now you have all the layers stuck together, you must cut a strip (also of EVA rubber) and stick it with silicone glue over the whole edge of the ice lolly, as you can see in the photo. 3_polo  Step 4: Once the strip is stuck, you will have to make an opening with the cutter (a slot) so you can insert the 150 x 18 mm lollipop stick. 5_polo Tip for decoration:  As well as the runny effect, you can decorate your Ice Lolly Bats as you like, adding stickers, for example, looking like pieces of fruit or a delicious chocolate rain. Now it’s time to inflate some balloons and start playing! ultima
