Designed for children ages 3 and up, this set encourages imaginative play and fine motor skills.
What Comes in the Box

How the Ice Cream Maker Works
Load a ball of modeling compound into the top of the maker, press down on the plunger, and a perfectly shaped ice cream scoop or milkshake pops out. Swap the mold inserts to create different treat shapes. Use the included mold tray to press out tiny sprinkles, candies, and other toppings. The dough stays soft and pliable, so kids can reshape and play again and again—no baking or drying required.
Skills This Playset Encourages
- Color recognition – four distinct shades help children identify and name colors
- Creative skill – mix and match dough colors to invent new flavor combinations
- Hand-eye coordination – pressing, molding, and placing small pieces builds precision
- Imaginative play – role-play as Barbie the ice cream shop owner
- Motor skill development – manipulating the dough and tools strengthens small hands
- Problem solving – figuring out how much dough to use or how to attach toppings
- Sensory play – the soft texture of the compound provides tactile feedback
More Ways to Play
Beyond basic cones and shakes, kids can create pretend sundaes, parfaits, or even decorative scenes. The mold tray allows for detailed toppings like sprinkles or candies. Since the dough can be mixed, children can blend colors to create new shades—for example, pink and white make a strawberry tone. The set works well with additional Softee Dough bulk packs (sold separately) to expand the color palette.
