So you want to take the kids camping this summer, but you're worried that sitting around the campfire making s'mores won't be quite enough entertainment. How about some ice cream, instead? LL Bean's Ice Cream Ball is available in both pint and quart sizes (not to mention a variety of cheerful colors), and it does double-duty as a dessert-maker and some campsite fun. Just put the ingredients in one end, the ice and salt in the other, and then have a ball. Roll it, toss it, shake it; way more fun than taking turns at the ol' crank.
I'd recommend making a "no throwing" rule with this and little ones, though. A traumatic head injury can really put a damper on your enjoyment of dessert.
