Beating Boredom

What kid doesn't love pretending to be the ice cream man? When I was little, I used to flip my ten speed bike upside down and turn the pedals so the wheels would spin and hum the ice cream truck song.

One morning, the boys were getting restless so I pulled out some kitchen stuff and some craft stuff and set them up with their own little ice cream shop.




The boys made button popsicles...




and pom-pom ice cream.

It was a good little activity that they spent a full hour playing. They took turns. They sorted colors to make certain flavors, although their favorite was mixing all of the colors together to make rainbow sherbet...because that's Mom's favorite.
