SNOW ICE CREAM - SNOW DAY ACTIVITY FOR KIDS

Snow days with older kids hit a little different than those days you would bundle them up, head outside for a little bit and come back in for some relaxation and snuggles. Now they can outlast you for hours without a care in the world that it's freezing cold out there! So, finding a way to have some quality time and make memories on snow days looks a little different!

We recently got our first snow here in Pennsylvania and along with that came 35 MPH winds and some bitter temperatures. We started to brainstorm what we could do with the kids that day that didn't include copious amounts of hours in the negative temps and decided to try to make some Snow Ice Cream!

Our recipe is for a plain vanilla tasting ice cream, but you can add flavorings like chocolate or strawberry very easily!

The kids loved making this snow ice cream so much (it even brought the teenagers out of their rooms!) that they asked to make it again for after dinner treats!
