Summer is here, and what better way to make it even more memorable than by celebrating National Ice Cream Month with your preschooler? National Ice Cream Month is observed every July, and it provides the perfect opportunity to indulge in delicious frozen treats while creating joyful experiences with your little one! So, join us as we explore some fun and interactive ways to celebrate this sweetest of months with your preschooler!
DIY Ice Cream Toppings Bar
Get creative in the kitchen and set up a DIY ice cream toppings bar for your preschooler. Provide a variety of toppings such as sprinkles, crushed cookies, fruit slices, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. Let your child unleash their imagination by creating their own unique ice cream masterpiece. This activity promotes fine motor skills, decision-making, and encourages their artistic expression!
Ice Cream Science Experiment
Combine fun and learning by engaging in an ice cream science experiment with your preschooler. Start by discussing the concept of freezing and how it turns liquid into a solid. Then, demonstrate the science behind making ice cream in a bag. Allow your child to mix the ingredients, place the bag inside another bag filled with ice and salt, and shake it vigorously. Witness the excitement on their faces as they observe the transformation of the liquid mixture into a creamy scoop of ice cream!
Ice Cream Relay Race
Organize a playful ice cream-themed relay race for your preschooler and their siblings or friends. An “ice cream cone” can be improvised from a plastic sports cone, and a small ball can serve as the “scoop” of ice cream. This challenging balance game will be as enriching for your child’s motor skill development as it is entertaining! See how quickly your child can race to the finish line without spilling a drop, or, if you have enough participants, have the kids hand off the cone to form a relay race, and have two teams compete. This activity promotes teamwork, coordination, and gross motor skills!
National Ice Cream Month provides an exciting opportunity to create lasting memories and celebrate the joys of summer with your preschooler. By engaging in these sweet activities, you’ll not only satisfy their sweet tooth but also foster their creativity, scientific curiosity, and physical coordination. Embrace the spirit of fun and exploration, and let your preschooler’s imagination soar while enjoying the delights of ice cream.
