Summer Ice Cream Special

Coloring pages, recipes, and your picks for the country's best parlors

by The Editors

One good thing about this summer's high temperatures is that they've given us all plenty of excuses to indulge in our favorite frozen treat. Nothing brings a smile to a kid's face like a trip to an ice cream parlor, a fresh scoop straight from the freezer, or, maybe best of all, a dollar or two and permission to spend it at the neighborhood ice cream truck.

Our special tribute to ice cream includes: adorable coloring pages; simple and oh-so-satisfying recipes; and lists of the best ice-cream parlors in the country. (Did we miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments area.) And you won't regret scrolling down to see photos of kids eating ice cream sent to us by grandparents like you. These messy faces will melt your heart, especially since you don't have to clean them up!
