This sand ice cream beach activity is pure summer magic! Kids use plastic cones and seashells to scoop and decorate imaginary ice cream.

Materials

     Plastic ice cream cone or small cup

     Beach sand

     Seashells

     Shovel

Instructions

1.   Fill the plastic ice cream cone with beach sand. Pack it down gently so it stays in place.

2.   Scoop extra sand on top to make a big “ice cream” swirl or mound.

3.   Decorate the sand ice cream with seashells like toppings. Press them gently into the sand.

4.   Make different flavors and creations using larger or smaller shells, pebbles, or bits of seaweed.

5.   Pretend to run a beach ice cream shop and serve sandy treats to friends and family.
