Cut 5 cone shapes out of brown felt.  Number the cones from 1 - 5 using dots.
  Cut five ice cream scoop shapes out of white or pink felt. Number the scoops from
 1 to 5 using numbers.  Place the cones on a flannel board.  Let your children take turns
 counting the dots on the cones and placing scoops with the corresponding numbers on them.

Draw an ice cream cone shape on each of eight index cards.  Make matching cards by drawing
 one ice cream scoop on two cones, two ice cream scoops on two more cones, and so on.
  Cover the index cards with clear self-stick paper for durability, if desired.  Mix up the cards
 and let your children take turns finding the cones with the matching number of ice cream scoops.

VARIATION: Mix up the cards and place them face down on a table.
 Let your children take turns playing ice cream concentration.

Trace and cut ice cream cones from brown tag board. The number prepared should depend
 on the developmental level of the kids. Trace and cut ice cream scoops from pink, green
 and white tag board. Use paper punch to make dots out of construction paper.
 Glue varying numbers on dots onto the ice cream scoops. Print a number on the
 ice cream cone that corresponds with the number of dots on the ice cream scoop.
 On the back of the ice cream scoop, print the number that corresponds to the
 amount of dots on the other side, so the game is self-correcting.
Cover all pieces with clear contact paper or laminate.
