Sensory Box March – Ice Cream Shop

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Beth at Bamm Boo

I got the idea from Counting Coconuts (I love that blog!)

Contents:

About 30 wool pom poms in a plastic food tray

2 ice cream cone shaped bowls and spoons from Matalan

4 mini plastic bowls

Ice cream scoop

Small pom poms (sprinkles)

Little circles of foam sheet from the hole punch when I made the lacing cards

Ice lollies – felt and colour coded lolly sticks. My sister ‘made’ these for Eli when we did a mini busy bag swap. By made I mean gave me all of the stuff to sew together myself!

Eli loved it, we’ve made ice creams all afternoon

We had lots of customers.

Including some phone orders.

Cost: I don’t knit so I had to buy the wool, I bought a mixed pack of roll ends from eBay for £7 and the come shaped bowls cost £4. The special bowls aren’t strictly necessary, you could make cones out of card.

I’m thinking I might add in some menus, order sheets and money later on in the month.

    I’ve got loads of odds and ends of wool that you could have had. Let me know if you ever need any in future.
