Just saw this in my June 2006 issue of Parents magazine
and I had to do a double-take.

I was like, What is that?
(I thought it was a hamster ball !! But, it is actually
an ice cream maker!)

The LL Bean website says that all you have to do is shake,
pass, or roll the ball around for 20 minutes and you've
got ice cream! :)

You're not alone Corie. I've never seen one either. It does look like a lot of fun!

How fun would this be for a softball team or baseball team
to pass this back & forth for 20 minutes to make ice cream? :)


Or play a 20 minute game of Hot Potato with your kids.
Then have some ice cream!! :)

Corie,

They just did a review on the Megaball Icecream Maker last week in our local news station:

It's the second link. It looks like the same machine. Thought you may want to see how this one works before you buy.

We gave my 4 year old DD one of those for Christmas. They're cute, and fun, but it takes a bit more strength than she has to shake it hard enough to actually make the ice cream. DH and I ended up doing most of it. I can see it working well with older kids, though.
