Ice Cream Social Toppings

My daughter's pre-k class had an end-of-summer ice cream party today and I volunteered to bring in toppings.  Pretty self explanatory concept, but in case you wanted the specifics, this is a regular-sized muffin tin and 16 ounce tumblers.   The original plan was to use those red solo cups in the large muffin tins but I decided to use clear cups so the kids could see what was inside.  (I also thought about labeling the cups but not all of them can read.)

The kids totally demolished the spread.  They could serve themselves using spoons and plastic tongs from the dollar store.  (Good for fine motor skill development!)  They were also good really good at counting out who got how many gummi bears.  But it was easy to transport in the car and SUPER easy to clean up.  We didn't do a birthday party for my daughter this year, due to the move, but I'm tempted to have an ice cream party for the neighborhood kids just so I can do this again!

This is an awesome idea! I think we need to have a party so I can do this, too.
