Ice-cream Sticks

We bought a pack of ice-cream sticks for a craft project that we were working on, and that was the best buy ever. With its simplicity, the ice-cream sticks were like a clean slate of activity that the Bees could spend hours of imaginative play on! 

They used the sticks to build models of houses and other structures, they decorated and scribbled on them, they formed pictures with the sticks and I could even create an impromptu number recognition aid for Little Bee with the involvement of Big Bee drawing the relevant pictures. Wonderful! These handy sticks certainly kept us busy for an entire afternoon!
