15 Cool Homemade Summer Treats for Kids

Root Beer Cravings

Evil Chef Mom's Krysta features this great idea for making root beer float and 50/50 homemade popsicles... What would summer be without a classic soda float?

Krysta shares a full pictorial on how you can easily make these creamy dreamy pops in Dixie cups. For the root beer float, she kept it just like the original, only using layers of vanilla ice cream on top and bottom with a root beer center layer. If you want to venture away from root beer and play with the 50/50 style, she recommends using orange soda, Dr. Pepper, grape soda, cherry soda, cream soda, and others as possible suggestions. Check out the full post for more tips and ideas, and to see the classic Eddie Murphy "ice cream" skit featured in Delirious. (Even just seeing his ever-amazing tight leather outfit once again is well worth the resurrection. Oh, the fabulous '80s!)
