Art
- The child learned about form and texture by shaping and molding playdough to resemble ice cream cones and toppings.
- Through imaginative play, the child explored color mixing and combinations as they created different flavors and colors of ice cream.
- Engaging in role-play helped the child understand the concept of expression and communication through art, as they interacted with pretend customers and acted as an ice cream shop owner.
Encourage the child to explore different textures and patterns by using various tools and objects to create different effects with playdough. Encourage them to expand their imaginative play by creating new scenarios for their ice cream shop, such as creating special flavors or designing unique ice cream sundaes.
