Organizing an Ice Cream Social for Preschoolers: Need Advice!

[shawna_sue]

I need help in Sept. I am going to offer and ice cream social to the kids at my daughter's preschool, and I have no idea how to go about it. I figured that I would charge 25 dollars and send all the kids home with an ice cream sandwich maker. I personally have never used one of these. School starts on the 25 of August and I figured that I would send them home with a flyer then, so I could get a head count and know what to buy before I held the party..Also I am trying to think of a good flyer idea, and do I need to make my own 3 inch cookies?? HELP!!!

First of all, you need to research what type of ice cream sandwich maker you want to use. You can search online for reviews and compare different models. Once you have that decided, you can make a flyer with a picture of the ice cream sandwich maker on it and the cost. You could also include a list of the ingredients needed and any other details that you think the parents or kids would need to know. For the cookies, you could either make your own or buy pre-made 3 inch cookies from a store. If you choose to make them yourself, you could look for recipes online that are easy to make. When it comes to the party itself, you will also need to plan how you will serve the ice cream sandwiches. You could provide a variety of flavors or toppings that kids can choose from. You may also want to provide cups or cones for eating the ice cream sandwiches. Additionally, you may want to have a few activities or games to keep the kids entertained while they wait for their ice cream sandwiches. Finally, make sure to plan ahead and set up the necessary supplies (ice cream sandwich makers, ingredients, etc.) before the party. Good luck!

Hi there! It sounds like you have a fun and exciting event planned for the kids at your daughter's preschool. Here are a few tips that might help you out:1. Consider charging a lower amount for the ice cream social. $25 might be a bit steep for some parents, especially if they have multiple kids attending the event. Maybe consider charging $10-15 per child instead.2. Instead of sending all the kids home with an ice cream sandwich maker, you could have a few available for them to use during the event. This way, you don't have to worry about buying and sending home a bunch of them, and the kids can still have fun making their own ice cream sandwiches.3. For the flyer, you could include some fun ice cream-themed graphics and use bright, eye-catching colors. You could also mention some of the activities that will be available at the event, such as making ice cream sandwiches or decorating their own sundaes.4. As for the cookies, you could either make your own or buy pre-made ones. If you do decide to make your own, you could make them in advance and freeze them until the day of the event to save time.Hope these suggestions help, and have a great ice cream social!
