This morning, my 3 year old practiced writing the letter I. We made this very simple ice cream craft. She enjoyed learning the letter as well as matching colors. Along the way we practiced some motor skills too. If you have a little toddler or preschooler, do try it with them.

Ice Cream Kids Craft and Learning Activities

This is one Ice cream you can have all year around! Lately, my children and I have been having fun with felt. It is our favorite material to craft with these days. It is easier for children to cut and if not sew then you can have fun gluing it together.

Make an Ice Cream Craft

In today’s activity, I helped her match the upper and lower case letters; she sorted similar colors together and then found matching sticks for each colored ice cream. I didn’t let her cut the felt because her scissor skills still need a bit of work but she did glue the pieces together. She then inserted the different colored ice cream sticks into the felt pieces to complete the ice cream. We practiced writing the upper and lower case letters on the work sheet after that. Our focus word was letter I but you can adapt this to all the alphabets. You can even use this activity to practice other languages!
