🍦 Ice Cream Week was a sweet success! 🍦
Our little learners had so much fun celebrating Ice Cream Week! From creating colorful ice cream crafts and sensory activities to enjoying ice cream-themed games and stories, every day was filled with smiles, laughter, and hands-on learning. The children explored colors, practiced fine motor skills, and made wonderful memories with their friends.
Take a look at these photos to see all the fun we had! Thank you to our amazing families for sharing in these special moments with us. 🍨💖
Fine Motor Sprinkle Station
Children will strengthen their fine motor skills by using tweezers, scoops, and their fingers to pick up, sort, and transfer colorful sprinkles into ice cream cones, cups, and muffin liners. This activity promotes hand-eye coordination, pincer grasp development, color recognition, counting, and early math skills through playful, hands-on learning.
Puffy Paint Ice Cream Art
Children will create colorful ice cream cones using puffy paint to decorate scoops with swirls, sprinkles, and toppings. Squeezing and spreading the paint helps build hand strength and fine motor control while encouraging creativity, color exploration, and self-expression.
Ice Cream Oobleck Sensory Play
Children will explore ice cream-themed oobleck by scooping, pouring, squeezing, and mixing the unique sensory material with colorful sprinkles, toy ice cream cones, cups, and scoops. This activity encourages scientific discovery, sensory exploration, language development, and fine motor skills as children investigate how the oobleck behaves like both a liquid and a solid.
Painting with Ice Cream Cones
Children will use ice cream cones as painting tools by dipping the bottoms or edges into paint to stamp and roll colorful designs onto paper. This process art activity encourages creativity, strengthens hand muscles, develops hand-eye coordination, and introduces children to different textures and painting techniques.
