Easy Ice Cream Party Ideas for Kids at Home
Looking for a cool way to beat the heat and keep the little ones entertained this summer? Bring the fun inside with a DIY ice cream party! Whether you’re throwing a full-on celebration with friends or just adding a little sweetness to your at-home family weekend, this free Battat printable turns simple playtime into a party. Let’s get scooping!
You’re Invited to an Ice Cream Party!
Print out our Ice Cream Party Invitation and turn your living room, backyard, or playroom into a pop-up ice cream parlour! Use it as a spontaneous family afternoon activity or share the invite with friends and neighbors so everyone can scream for ice cream!
Start by setting up the Sweet Sprinkles Ice Cream Playset. With pretend ice cream cones and easy stackable ice cream scoops in different colors and flavors, this playset is easy for kids of all ages. Little ones love to eat their imaginary ice cream and exchange pretend play money for their order.
With a built-in menu, an ice cream scoop, and pretend sprinkles, kids have everything they need to serve up sweet fun all afternoon.
Once they’ve worked up an appetite, head to the real freezer! Bring out the ice cream and use what’s in the pantry to recreate the ice cream shop in real life. For extra fun, go wild with toppings!
Time for Toppings!
Adding your own ice cream toppings transforms an already sweet treat into a cone-tastic activity!
Battat’s Sweet Treats Ice Cream Parlour playset is packed with sweet details like chocolate and raspberry syrup, rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, colorful ice cream spoons, and more. Kids can plan their perfect ice cream Sunday with the playset, practicing their scoop, swirl, and drizzle techniques. Then, they can head to the kitchen to turn those sweet dreams into a delicious reality.
Print the “Toppings” page for each child and encourage kids to draw or write down all the tasty add-ons they want. Kids can then use it as a “grocery list” while they hunt through the pantry for all their favorite add-ons. It might be a good idea to stock up on some classic ice cream toppings before the ice cream party, like:
Rainbow sprinkles, Chocolate sauce, Mini marshmallows, Crushed cookies, Cherries, Gummy bears, Chopped fruit, Chocolate chips
Matching the pretend toppings from the Sweet Treats Ice Cream Parlour is a great way to let little ones get involved in the ice cream party, even if they’re too young to eat the real thing.
For Littler Kiddos!
With bellies full of ice cream, it’s time to head back to the playroom and design their own ice cream cone with the final page of our free ice cream party printable.
Perfect for those toddlers or preschoolers who are too young to scoop and serve, the printable coloring sheet is a great screen-free activity for kids of all ages. It features three cheerful triple-scoop cones ready to be decorated with crayons, markers, or stickers.
Little ones can scribble and older kids can recreate their desserts to freeze that yummy moment in their memory forever.
