Ice Cream Hands

Nothing says summer more than 3 heaping scoops of ice cream melting together on a cake cone. My son loved getting his hands messy to make this delicious treat.  To top it off it is a great craft to send off to the grandparents. 

Materials: cake cone pattern crayons scissors paint colors of your choice paint brushes construction paper- cut in half length wise glue

Directions:

• Print the cake cone pattern and have your kiddo color it.

• Once your child has finished coloring their cone, have them cut it out or you can do it for them.  Then have them glue it onto construction paper.
• Now the fun begins!  Put your child’s art smock on or just let them go shirtless. Paint your child’s hand their color of choice and add a scoop to their cone. (Notice that I have the cone upside down and at the top of the page.) 
• If you plan to make more than one like we did, make sure to do all the handprints of one color before moving on to the next.

 

• Depending on your color choices you may need to wash hands in between each color scoop.

 

The boy was very excited about his creations and he can’t wait to share them with family.

Family Night-Ice Cream

Apparently the 2 Teaching Mommies have been thinking with our tummies during our last few brainstorming sessions!  This weeks theme is…

ICE CREAM!  Whoo Hoo! 

Now our little family is kind of in the midst of a big move.  Oh, if you only knew how long this move has been taking, but that is another story for another time.  Little E has been in some understandable distress during our time of transition, so this simple little family night was so needed for her!  

We made simple Ice Cream sundaes.  We could have gone all out….but we didn’t. 

We just got some ice cream, some waffle bowls, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup. 

We spooned some in a bowl for E, and then we let her decorate it with sprinkles and syrup.  We didn’t do anything else.  We sat at a little card table in our empty little kitchen and ate ice cream.  We laughed, we teased, and we just had a good time.

Mommies, never underestimate the impact these simple little activities have on your kiddos.  E slept better after our family night than she had in a long time, and while she could have been in a sugar coma, I think its much more likely that this family night reassured her during our big move. 

You don’t have to go all out, just have a good time, love on your kiddos, and enjoy your time!
