A-maze-ing Ice Cream Adventure

We had our ice cream adventure over the weekend for our playgroup in our center. It was a fun+WOW for the kids and parents as well.

The class started off with the introduction to 'Ice Cream round the world'. This is to increase the children knowledge on different countries ice cream specialty.
Benefit : increase general knowledge, language development


Next is the ingredients maze where children need to go through the maze to look for the ingredients that they want to be in their ice cream
Benefit : improve a child's cognitive thought processes, boost problem solving skills

The maze exit will take the children to the next activity, 'the ice cream making process' at the children kitchen. 


The children spring into action almost immediately after the ice cream making demonstration.
children busy scooping the ice that they needed.

The children working on rolling the ice bag very diligently.

Ta-da!!! finally ice cream is done ..and now the decoration part with the ingredients that they have collected from the maze.
Benefit : help to build fine motor skills

The children ice cream masterpiece.
