    Dessert Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy

    Fill a sensory bin with:

    -Pour in colored rice, sprinkles or colorful kinetic sand

    -Then toss in cotton balls and colorful pom poms for "ice cream"

    -Add your ice cream scooper, spoons, small bowls, mini marshmallows, and real (or pretend) ice cream cones!


    Play-Based Activities

    Dessert Themed Lesson Plans for Speech Therapy

    Ice cream parlor pretend play/dramatic play: Set up an ice cream shop! Grab pretend play ice cream sets and some child size aprons! You could also easily use items from home instead of buying ice cream toys. Create cones with brown paper, and use pom poms or cotton balls as ice cream scoops! Bring in bowls and spoons from home, and have students help you make ice cream shop signs with flavors and toppings!


      Craft

      Find directions for the craft HERE from the Crafty Morning Blog!

      -Mix liquid glue with shaving cream until you get "stiff peaks" in the mixture.

      -Add green paint or food coloring to mixture.

      -Draw/color brown triangle "cones"

      -Using a paintbrush, paint an ice cream cone shape on top of the cone.

      -Take a tiny paintbrush/brown paint and add chocolate chips!

      -Draw a red circle cherry on top

      -Let dry overnight!

      ABCya: Make an Ice Cream!

      So many choices! Work on requesting, labeling, describing, following directions, and more! I also like using it to discuss the different steps for making a sundae before we make our own! Can also talk about silly things that don't belong: Should we add dirty socks?!
