If Mr. Colby was still alive, I'd be eating ice cream in just a few hours. Hmm...could it double as a soccerball? Might hurt a bit to do a header, but what a reward! :) I couldn’t help but laugh.

Give it to your kids to shake like crazy for awhile--great (if a little messy) rainy-day activity, especially, or take it outside to reduce some of the mess. Here's a link to a good ice cream recipe on a teacher website: http://www.teachnet.com/lesson/science/icecream051999.html There's a more delicious recipe with raw egg in it here: http://www.col-ed.org/cur/sci/sci172.txt I know people don't like to use raw eggs, but if you scrub the shells using an anti-bacterial dish liquid before you use them, you can remove 99.5% of the bacteria, since most of the bacteria concerns about eggs are not that they're raw, it's that they sat under a chicken.

My sister in law had one similar to this, but hers came from L.L. Bean. She got me one for my birthday this year and it's very cool. And, the ice cream you make in it is good!

Still, it's lots of fun! One caveat is that it makes a relatively small amount of ice cream. Still, it’s lots of fun!
