Do your kids love seller games too? So this game they will definitely like! Moreover, even those kids who prefer calm and less contact games will like it.
By itself, the game “Ice Cream Maker” is focused on the development of sensory in children. And it is carried out using ice cream dough. At the same time, children take part at every stage of the game.
What we need:
- Ice cream in a briquette / box, in general, the more the better;
- Food colorings;
- Powdered sugar. A lot of powdered sugar!
- Waffle cones or ice cream cups, even pre-prepared multi-colored cardboard packaging will do;
- Powder / Sequins / Beads;
- Ice cream spoon.
Let the ice cream melt a little, but only a little. And then distribute it in bowls for convenience, add food coloring. Let the child choose a color, you can even mix a few to get the right shade.
Then pour powdered sugar into the ice cream, preferably more. First, the baby should stir the mass with a spoon, and then you can begin to work with your hands.
The combination of icing sugar and ice cream with the right proportions does not stick to your hands at all, but at the same time it retains the desired texture and density.
When the ice cream is ready, you can start the main part of the game. The child appears as an ice cream maker, and for this he needs to build a place for "sale".
A small table will fit on which you can place all kinds of ice cream, powders and horns. You can decorate the table with a bright inscription “Ice cream” made of colored paper, in general - there is no limit to imagination.
For parents who have free time, another option is suitable. Namely, you can make a "booth" from a large cardboard box (from under the TV or refrigerator) and decorate it at your own discretion.
When everything is put in its place, the baby falls into place and can begin to “sell ice cream”. Ice cream is scooped up with a spoon, the horn is filled, on top, at the request of the buyer, sparkles or beads are added.
It’s better not to taste this ice cream - it’s too sugary. Children, too, are unlikely to like it.
The game can be a team, if there are many children, or you and your family can become buyers. It is important to involve children in the process of making the ice cream itself.
- First, the child learns to recognize things by touch, to distinguish soft, friable, cold, warm;
- Secondly, the recognition of colors and shades is improved;
- And thirdly, the necessary social skills are formed during the “sale”;
- So the baby learns to say: "Thank you" and "Please."
Would you try to hold such a game for your kids? Or to convene a real party for children and arrange a contest for the most beautiful ice cream?
