Flannel Friday: Ice Cream Colors

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

I couldn’t resist making the whole I scream, you scream pun. Here’s a great summertime (a little bit early — but maybe someone is doing ICE CREAM SCIENCE?) flannelboard for you to grab.

Flannelboard: “Ice Cream Colors”
We have ice cream, the best in town,
Let us begin with chocolate brown.
Now, let us scoop us some bubble-gum pink,
It is sweet and yummy, the best, some think.
Here is ice cream minty and green,
It is the creamiest I have ever seen.
Yellow ice cream is lemony and tart,
We like its taste from the very start.
Scoops of blueberry would make my day,
Look at all this ice cream, hip, hip hurray!
Red ice cream is a strawberry delight,
All these scoops are a heavenly sight.
Vanilla white is a popular flavor,
It tastes very good to an ice-cream craver.
Purple ice cream really gives me a kick,
Good and yummy till the very last lick.
Ice cream, ice cream, what a cool sensation,
We love ice cream in any combination!

I’ve used this in summer, sweets, the Letter I, colors, and probably another dozen themes are possible.

Another first flannelboard for me — this is the first one that I freehanded! Since I freehanded it, I went ahead and traced it and uploaded it as a pattern for you, available here! Enjoy!

Anne will be hosting the round-up today! You can also check out our website, Pinterest, or Facebook!

    I would love to use this pattern for an upcoming story time but I do not see the pattern. Was it removed?

    Is there a template that should be linked? This is great!

    Where do I get the pattern for Ice Cream Colors? Could you possibly send the pattern and rhyme to my email as I am doing zoo animals as a theme the week of June 7-11, 2021.

      Hi Cherylann,

      I hope your storytime went well even without the pattern and rhyme. The rhyme is available on the post and you can find a clip art picture of any ice cream cone — I’m sorry that my template isn’t working at the moment.
