This fun Mix and Match Ice Cream Set is great to teach children about different colours, textures, flavours and combinations. You can choose to have the ice cream as one piece, with velcro* or all separate making it heaps of fun to try and balance as many flavours as you can! This is great for building hand eye coordination skills, patience and balance.
Set Includes:
1 x Cone
4 x Ice Cream Scoops
-1 Strawberry
-1 Chocolate
-1 Vanilla
-1 Banana
You can choose if you want it ALL SEPARATE (for mix and match and games) or all ONE PIECE, scoops and cone all attached or *VELCRO for me to add Velcro circles to the top of the cone, top and bottom of the Chocolate, Vanilla and Banana Scoops and just the bottom of the strawberry.
x x x Many games can be played with this Ice Cream set including x x x
---Similar to egg and spoon; Scoop and Cone Race
Set a start and finish point and try balancing one scoop on the cone and walk, powerwalk, run, skip, or even crawl to the finish. If one scoop is mastered carry on adding another and so on.
---Incorporate into existing games such as musical chairs
---Try Balancing as many scoops on as possible. For more of a challenge, stand on one leg!
These ice creams can also be used in other ways in your child's play kitchen. In little bowls as scoops of ice cream, on top of felt bananas for a banana split or even on some felt waffles or pancakes.
Most of these items have been largely hand stitched for greater detailing. I have used a mixture of Wool Felt, Wool Blend Felt and Acrylic Felt. These felts feel great and hold shape, they are strong and easy to spot clean. As everything is handmade slight variations do occur.
NOTE: It is quite difficult to balance all the scoops, although not impossible. A lot of patience and persistence is required to do so. This set and game has been tested in pre schools and is a huge success.
Washing instructions: Spot wash very gently and allow to air dry
WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR 0-3 years
