Ice Cream Dramatic Play

Last week was all about camping, and this week is Ice Cream! If I could only pick two dramatic play centers to set up all summer long they would be a camping trip and an ice cream parlor.  A camping trip is a great adventure, and an ice cream parlor is a dream come true!

I've rounded up some great ideas for your classroom ice cream parlor;

Maureen over at Spell Out Loud shares her ideas for ice cream scented play dough, and a super cute printable menu.

Lindsey from So Easy Being Green shows you how to make an ice cream parlor out of a cardboard box.

Sue over at One Time Through shares her ideas for pretend ice cream toppings - colored rice sprinkles and pom pom cherries, how cute!

Bernadette, from Rhythm of the Home gives instructions for creating fabric money for dramatic play. This would last so much longer than paper money!

If large props are your thing, Taming the Goblin has great ideas for building your own ice cream truck. 

And if you're still looking for some easy decor, check out my Ice Cream Classroom decorations!

I would love to know what you've used for an ice cream themed dramatic play space, please share your great ideas in the comments!
