Pulled this idea from "Growing a Jeweled Rose" here. I didn't step it up as top notch as she does but it was still great nonetheless. This is a great summer activity that would be super fun outside but we decided to stay indoors with our activity today and just put it all on a wipe off mat.
Just spray some shaving cream (I always keep a supply of mens shaving cream handy in our craft closet) into a tub and add any color food coloring you like then place it in the freezer for a few hours. You can add extracts of your choice too if you would like it to have a yummy smell. When it freezes it has a perfect texture almost like real ice cream! It even looks tasty so if you have really little ones, make sure they are aware that it is indeed pretend!
We added some of our "jewel treasures" we had lying around for decorating excitement.
My Big K loves to get super messy so we ended up having to lose the dress up dress to get all into it.
What's ice cream without sprinkles?!
Let your kids get all into it and make a mess! Talk about the different ways it feels...cold, squishy. Your kids will have a blast and you will too!
