They could also be used in the sensory center. I also let the kids draw shapes using shaving cream. They can also draw the shapes using rice, salt, sand, oatmeal in a shallow pan. They really turned out cute, and the kids had fun with it. Teacher cuts out the middle.
Kids paint the doughnut white for the icing and sprinkle on real jimmies.
The wet paint will hold the jimmies on. Children cut triangle out of brown paper to make the cone and cut a scoop of ice cream out of white paper. Cut small triangles out of different colors. Kids glue the cone and ice cream onto a 9 x 12 sheet of purple paper to make ice cream cone and glue triangles onto the ice cream to make jimmies. Children fold strips back and forth.
