Party or Summer Holiday Activity - Play Doh Sundaes, Cookies & Cupcakes

  

I came across this idea from a blog called Happy Hooligans, craft and activities for little people.

This activity is a great idea for a party activity.  I loved the idea of making playdoh that was scented and coloured to resemble ice cream or cookie dough.

Weeks prior to making the dough, I began collecting ice cream scoops and sundae containers from thrift stores. I also gathered beads, balls, cupcake toppers, shells, gems, glitter and anything that resembled sundae toppings.  I decided on 3 "flavours", Spearmint, Cookie Dough and Chocolate.  

For the chocolate I follow the following recipe taken from another lovely blog called The Imagination Tree:

I used the following recipe for the other doughs and coloured them pink and green with 

scents of spearmint and vanilla. They all smell divine.Being a no cook dough, it is very quick to make.

The containers were bought from The Reject Shop and are shaped like ice cream tubs. 

Now the creations can begin

Goodies for a Sundae Shop.

Set up a toy register for the goodies to be sold.

This is also a good activity to practise money handling for older children.
