celebration: Ice Cream Sandwich Bar

What’s better than a party?!  Well a backyard Ice Cream Sandwich Bar party celebrating the letter “I” of course!

Oh the letter “I”, that of igloo’s, iguana’s, ice, and ICE CREAM!

In homeschool preschool we are slowly going through the letters of the alphabet using language activities, math activities, fine motor skills, and art.  Since we are almost half way through the alphabet we decided to incorporate a little fun into our learning.  This ice cream sandwich bar incorporates all those activities.  haha no really it does – ahhh the beauty of homeschool :)





Language activities = Sequencing

– learning the steps to create an ice cream sandwich, V& T had a chance to practice their narrative skills and I had the opportunity to model good narrative skills in creating an ice cream sandwich.

Math activities = Counting + Deduction

– counting the toppings, counting the cookies, determining the size of ice cream that would fit between the cookies, determining whether to use a spoon or tongs.

Fine motor skills

– using a tight grasp to pull a Wet-Nap wipe out of the container, grasping the small topping spoons, grasping the melting cookie sandwich to eat, grasping tongs.

Art

– creating candy mosaics on our ice cream sandwich’s, thought into the colors/types of toppings chosen and why.

I’ve also created a few free printables for you to make & add some flair to your own Ice Cream Sandwich Bar, a fun sign & bunting.

Here’s what you’ll need to create this Ice Cream Sandwich Bar in your backyard too (I totally stocked up at Walmart – I was able to find everything I needed for this right there & I knew I was getting it all for everyday low prices)

  • toppings
  • ice cream/frozen yogurt
  • sugar cookies
  • flat tray to roll the Ice Cream Sandwich in toppings
  • printable sign & bunting (see above, print on cardstock)
  • twine & hole punch (to create bunting)
  • Wet-Nap wipes (a must for the mess – I laid out both individual packets & a canister – the canister proved to be the BEST for this & their little hands!) Plus, I gotcha a fab ($.55) coupon off of any Wet-Nap product too – print it here while supplies last :)
  • a backyard!
  • optional: treat cups
