Children can have fun scooping play dough as if it were ice cream. First make various colors of play dough and put them in ice cream containers. Here is the play dough recipe. You can have your children use ice cream scoops to scoop out the play-doh and put them in plastic/paper bowls. If you’d like to expand the lesson you can scoop out certain colors and certain amounts and have them place the scoops of play-doh into the separate bowls.

We are going to build our own ice cream cones by using this pattern and gluing one scoop on top of the other. Cut out the circles in various ice cream colors and the cones in a tan or brown color. Give each child a cone and lay the circles (ice cream) out on the table for them to choose whatever colors they would. Depending on the age of your children you can also have some that haven’t been cut out for the children to cut them out. This is a great time for children to practice using scissors by cutting out their own circles to use as their scoops. Some children will find this hard to do and may get tired so have them just cut out one and then have a bunch already cut out for them to choose from. Other children may like cutting and so you can allow them to cut out as many as they’d like to. If when they cut them out they are not a perfectly round circle that’s okay, it’s all about the process they are going through by cutting out their circle (scoop).
