Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream

As summer rolls around, many preschool teachers and homeschool mommas teach about ice cream. If this is you, you should add Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream by Rob Scotton to your lessons.

Kids will join Splat and his class on a field trip to an ice cream factory. Splat can barely sit still during the bus ride. He’s imagining the mountain of ice cream he thinks he’ll get to eat!

But when Splat gets there, that mountain becomes more of an avalanche. It’s up to Splat and his classmates to save the day!

It’s a simple story, but there are so many fun lessons you can pull from it to teach your little ones.

Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream Activities

Science: Preschoolers can learn about the science of ice cream by making their own homemade version.

First, they will need to choose their favorite flavor of ice cream. Then, they will need to gather some basic ingredients, such as milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings.

Once they have all of their ingredients, they will need to follow a simple recipe to make their ice cream. After the ice cream is made, it will need to be frozen in order to enjoy it.

By making their own ice cream, preschoolers will not only have a delicious treat, but they will also learn about the science behind this popular food.

Five Senses: After making some homemade ice cream (or enjoying their favorite store-bought flavor), have kids use their five senses to discuss it. For example, it tastes fruity, smells like strawberries, sounds slurpy, looks pink, and feels cold.

Rhyming Words: Splat and cat rhyme. Cream and scream rhyme. Can your child pick out more rhyming words from the story?
