Ice Cream Birthday Party

Ice Cream is a yummy treat to have at any birthday party, but to make your whole party theme made out of ice cream is a whole lot of fun for the kids.

Make Homemade Ice Cream

Use your Ice Cream maker and have the kids help you make some yummy homemade ice cream. They will love to be able to help. Here is a place to find Ice Cream Recipe's for you.

Pin The Ice Cream On The Cone Birthday Party Game

This is a fun spin to pin the tail on the donkey.
Purchase some Brown felt and many different colors of felt.
Make a cone out of the brown felt & make scoops of ice cream out of the many colors.

Grand Sundae Ice Cream

When the homemade ice cream is done, have each child make their own Grand Sundae. Have all kinds of toppings available. Nuts (make sure the kids don't have allergies), Chocolate Sauce, Caramel Sauce, Butterscotch Sauce, Sprinkles, Whipped Cream, Gummy Bears, Crushed cookies, Sliced Banannas, or anything else you can think of.

Ice Cream Birthday Cake Idea

-Make your Choice of cake mix in a round cake pan. I used a pie pan.
-After the cake has cooled use a tooth pick to trace in about an inch to an 1 1/2 inches in on either side half-way down the cake. Then make a half circle. This half circle will be your ice cream.
- Cut along your line. It should look like the picture below.

Frost your cake, you may make the cup any color you would like, as well as your frosting, but white seems to make it more classic. Use brown frosting for chocolate sauce, or use real chocolate sauce or caramel. Then use sprinkles to spruce it up. You may also like to use a knife or toothpick to make lines in your cup to spruce it up just a bit.

Ice Cream Party Fight

With your left over ice cream or a 5 quart bucket from the store, let the kids have an ice cream fight. It can get pretty messy, so let them know to dress in some grubby clothes. It's best to have the ice cream fight outside as well. It's sticky, and a whole lot of fun!
