Here’s a fun way to practice colors and numbers! Create an ice cream stand, where children can pretend to sell and buy ice cream.
This resource contains a menu that can be printed out and laminated for durability. The kids can then use dry-erase markers to circle the ice cream that they’d like to order. If you have a small table and a chair, you can improvise an ice cream stand.
As props, you can use:
- a table/two tables
- some chairs
- small plastic cups (for the cones)
- homemade playdough (use food coloring for different flavors) (you can find the recipe here)
- a spoon or scoopers
- red wooden beads or buttons (cherries)
- hama beads for sprinkles (keep a close eye on the kids when using these!)
- old ketchup bottle (syrup)
- any decorations the kids make (buntings, signs, paper money)
- a cash register
You can download the resource from my TPT store, Grumpy Dumpling, or by clicking on the picture:
