Use these printables as role play props and build an interactive number rhyme resource that supports your children's sing song, math and numeracy activities. The number of icecream tubs fail to reduce at each child's purchase so the rhyme moves to delicious icecreams after the first round of song! Use the lower serving sheet to hold any number of whippy top icecreams and offer a waffle cone to the customer as they select a flavour to slot into their cone. Replenish at the end of 5 to avoid recalling children's bought icecreams! or increase the number of icecream tops. Print and assemble a matching number of waffle cones and extend any conversations to sauce and sprinkles and discover what  children's experiences with icecream is, how these yummy treats are a sugary food and what colour or flavour preferences every one has.
