icecream- preschool part 2

Ii icecream day!  I used mostly last years ideas, with a few new things added.  Here's last years.

I came home from Thanksgiving at my Grandma's house with this icecream Christmas ornament. Nothing says Christmas like icecream, huh?  Anyway, I wanted to make up something similar for Ii icecream day at preschool.  I made myself use what I had on hand, so instead of burlap, I used posterboard covered in felt. Instead of pom poms (because I was a few short), I used yarn that I made into pom poms.

I made each child a vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.  This was one of those projects where I thought, no problem, this wont take too long, and then half way through, I had to reconsider the invested time verse the time left to complete.  Time invested won and I finished all 60. 

We used them to sort of dance and sing along to Laurie Berkner's song, Icecream.

I also added this little rhyming flannel board

5 Ice Cream Cones
