Putting together your ice cream shop is simple!

Place your choice of ice cream props in your dramatic play area along with printables from the ice cream packet.

Your toddlers and preschoolers can decide who wants to be a worker and who wants to be a customer.

Pass out coupons and menus, take orders, and enjoy some ice cream!

These props, along with our ice cream printable packet, work on the following:

• Communication skills
• Social skills
• Literacy skills
• Math skills
• Fine motor skills
• Creativity

You will also have the ability to offer English and Spanish versions in some of the printables, too!

How to extend this dramatic play activity:

• Enjoy real ice cream during snack.
• Place scoops, pom poms (“ice cream”), and assorted bowls in the sensory bin.
• Create an ice cream cone out of paper triangles and circles at the art table.
• Read some fun ice cream books.
