4. Ice Cream Sandwich with a Twist – This is a simple and quick way to take your ice cream sandwiches to the next level. You can prep these before giving them out, or you can make them interactive and let anyone do it themselves. The only things you’ll need are ice cream sandwiches and sprinkles. Choose whatever flavor and color you want! Once you remove the packaging from the sandwich, roll the sandwich in the sprinkles, and you’re done! This is a great way to stay festive during summer holidays and birthdays!
