Snowman ice cream
What’s the best thing to eat when you want a fun treat on a winter’s day? An ice cream snowman of course!
This article is one of our easy Christmas recipes for children and part of our Christmas activities and crafts for children.

How to make an ice cream snowman
Two or three scoops of vanilla ice cream make a snowman body – and if you run your ice cream scoop under water first you’ll find it a lot easier to get the ice cream off your spoon in a great snowball shape.

And that’s your ice cream snowman finished and ready to eat – cool!
Let’s make this winter the year when we delight in the cold and the dark.
Gather your children, get cosy, and make memories and connections together.
