Ice cream week

Again, two crafts in one, because I didn't get time yesterday to post!

Yesterday we did ice cream cones, but, about me ice cream cones. I got everything ready, cut out the circles for the ice cream- each child got three. Cut out the cone, and got the markers and glue. Then on each circle I wrote something. "My name is", I am" and "I like".


I filled in the blanks for the younger kids, and let them start colouring. The older ones I had them write their names, how old they are and then helped them write things that they liked. Then I had them colour and draw on their ice cream's!



After they were done colouring we used the glue to put them together!




Today we are making ice cream sundaes for snack. That was going to be our craft for the day, but I came up with an ice cream man puppet. So, we did that as well!

First I made all the pieces to make the ice cream mad- 3 scoops, a cone, eyes, nose, mouth and arms- oh and a cherry- for his hat! Then I found some toilet paper rolls, glue and markers. (You could also use glitter for sprinkles).

The kids started the craft by colouring everything- I gave them pink, brown and yellow- strawberry, chocolate and vanilla!




When they were done colouring, we cut all the pieces out, and started gluing our ice cream man together!



Then we put glue on the toilet paper roll, and put our ice cream man on that!


Then, once they are dry, you have an ice cream man puppet!!!

Two crafts

This week we were talking about ice cream. First we made Banana splits.

I let the kids cut circles out of white/cream paper, while I cut smaller pieces from red- for strawberries, and yellow- for pineapple, and cut the banana. Then I also made dishes for them. And got some brown paint ready- for the chocolate sauce!


First the kids glued the ice cream circles onto the paper. Then the strawberries and pineapple, and the banana!


Then we painted on the brown paint for chocolate sauce...


And then you have your banana split!!!
(sorry for some reason no final picture!)


Today we made rootbeer floats. I did these two ways, for older and younger kids.

First I gathered what we needed- paper cut into a float glass shape, paint (which I mixed with bubble mixture to get it really bubbly! Cotton balls and straws- plus glue, tape and a paint brush.


With the older kids, I let them use their straws to blow the paint around to cover the paper, and the smaller kids used the paint brush and stamped around the paper.



Then we pulled on the cotton balls and glued them to the top of the "glass" for the ice cream. After that we taped their straw to the top! Yummy!
