[ By Gabriella Mayer ]
T
here is no other cold treat that both kids
and adults love more than a delicious
bowl of ice cream with all of the sprinkles,
gummy bears, or chocolate chips
they want. This summer is the perfect time
to indulge on your favorite ice cream flavors
by making it at home with your kids!
If you do not own an ice cream maker
or do not have a lot of time to make the
ice cream, fear not. This kind of ice cream
can be made using a mason jar and your
arms. It is just that easy! Mason jars, or
Ball jars as they’re also called, are easy to
find online or at any home décor store
and are typically popular to use as storage,
candleholders, and even for an onthe-go
salad. Now you can use these jars
to make a quick dessert!
This easy and fun recipe is a fun activity
to do with your kids where you can make
any flavor you want, whether it’s vanilla,
chocolate, or mint chocolate chip! One fun
tip is that when you are done mixing your
ice cream, use any piece of chalk and write
on the metal lids to write your names or draw
a cute design!Get shaking and have fun!
