Intown Jewish Preschool: We Dream of Ice Cream

It's summertime so naturally, we all get to overindulge in one of our very favorite treats, ice cream! With a little help from our friends in KDH, we first explore ice cream sundae and waffle cone creating by offering up a large bin filled with tools to make the perfect Dream Cone/Sunday. They showed us how to hold the waffle cone, scoop up the ice cream (cotton balls) then add any type of topping (pom poms) topped off with sprinkles of fun.

Shaya and Natalie are helping us learn how to scoop and sprinkle!

Look at my big ice cream scoop!

Liav seems to really appreciate this activity.

Orli waits patiently for her turn as Erez is scooping out some ice cream.

This led to us looking into more ways in which we could integrate some art into our ice cream bin fun. So, we found some color dotters, cut brown paper triangles, and gathered glue sticks for some open-ended art.

Take a look at the materials that sparked our imagination!

Yonah decided that he'd color on more than just the cotton balls, totally fine!

One of Elliot's favorite activities is splatting colors with the dotters.

Parker wants to put his cone sideways!

Adom really likes to use his favorite color, adom (red)!

Look how mina put one dot of each color on her cotton balls.

Benny likes yellow but not too much, just enough.

Ivy was really into blue that day.

Lev and Gavi came the next day and really wanted to make one, too.

Here's Elliot enjoying the sensory bin while his friends make art.

After everyone made an ice cream cone for our art display we made yet another ice cream parlor experience. Yonah made ice cream sundaes and served them to his friends.
