Whether you’re teaching in the classroom or doing activities at home, these creative ideas help preschool and kindergarten kids build letter recognition, fine motor skills, and imagination while enjoying a “sweet” alphabet lesson.
1. Read Ice Cream-Themed Books
Pair your craft with storytime to help children connect the letter I with something they love—ice cream!
Here are some delightful books to read together:
- Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems
- The Ice Cream King by Steve Metzger
- Ice Cream Summer by Peter SĂs
- Curious George Goes to an Ice Cream Shop by Margret & H.A. Rey
Encourage kids to point out each time they hear or see the word “ice cream” as you read.
2. Create an Ice Cream Shop
Turn your craft time into pretend play!
Set up a simple “ice cream shop” using paper cones, playdough scoops, or pom-poms as ice cream.
Children can take turns being the customer and the server — it’s a fun way to practice counting, colors, and conversation skills!
3. Decorate the Classroom or Alphabet Wall
 Once your students finish their Letter I Ice Cream Craft, display them on your alphabet wall or bulletin board labeled “I is for Ice Cream.”
Add sprinkles, cones, and scoops made from construction paper for a bright, cheerful summer display that everyone will love.
4. Letter of the Week: I Is for Ice Cream
 If you’re focusing on a Letter of the Week theme, this activity is a hit!
Pair it with other I-themed ideas like I is for Insect, I is for Island, or I is for Iguana.
Add tracing worksheets, counting scoops of ice cream, or sensory play with cotton balls as “ice cream clouds” for a full day of interactive learning fun.
