ice cream: a sensory bin

It's a kindergarten tradition to make ice cream.

We can't get to the end of June without making and eating ice cream.

Thoughts of ice cream lead to playing ice cream.



The kids got to work at the ice cream store. 




And I got to work making an ice cream sensory bin.




ingredients
pom poms
silicone cupcake holders
buttons
ice cream bowls
ice cream scoops
sundae cup
emptied out, lids glued on, ice cream bubble containers

Lots of yummy fun.


Almost as yummy as eating real ice cream.

  7. Great combinations for kids - read about ice cream, make make-believe ice cream sundaes, then eat the real thing.

  14. Yummy! Those self-made cones are terrific. Of course, the real ones aren't bad either ;) Great idea to combine the book with an activity.

  15. Stopping by from the Literary Blog Hop to say hello. What clever ideas and a great book. What's not to love about ice cream? My favorite is regular old vanilla with peanut butte and chocolate syrup!
