“COTTON CANDY PLEASE, BUT MAKE IT ICE CREAM”
What’s one of the things that comes to mind when you think about a kids party or event, “COTTON CANDY!!!!” Yes, cotton candy is on the tops of every kid’s mind. And I have the perfect activity and recipe for your next kids party, and trust me it will be a hit. This fun activity is great for a kid’s summer or spring party. The kids will be able to get their hands involved, learn a little science while they’re at it by turning a liquid into a solid. And if you’re looking for a themed party idea, this is great for that too. And finally the kids get to dig in and taste it and be proud of their work. I don’t know about your kids, but mine LOVE cotton candy and ice cream and they have a ball creating this each and every time we do it. Enjoy!
