Scene for an Ice Cream Social:

Most of the party decor is in the spread of ice creams, toppings, sauces and
special touches. For kids, it's all about variety and gluttony, so pour it on! Here's
your shopping list:

Ice cream: Buy extra French vanilla ice cream, then supply chocolate,
strawberry, and butter pecan (America's third favorite ice cream) to cover
the bases. If your budget is tight you can forgo strawberry and chocolate
in favor of Neapolitan to keep several party goers happy. Add coffee ice
cream and mint chip or chocolate chip if you want to over indulge. Tip: Buy
extra ice cream scoops. Pack ice cream on dry ice to keep it cold. And
finally, have a standby dessert for the lactose intolerant.

Sauces: hot fudge, chocolate, butterscotch, and a fruit sauce.

Toppings: Confetti sprinkles and jimmies, chocolate chips, M&Ms or Reeces
Pieces candies, mini marshmallows, chopped nuts (particularly peanuts
and walnuts), crushed cookies such as Oreos, peanut butter cups,
pretzels, coconut shreds and other dried fruit, whipped cream, and
Maraschino cherries.

Extras: Try Waffle cones and sugar cones, Bananas for splits, root beer for
floats, brownies for mud pies, cookies just because, and chocolate cups
for extra indulgence

Special touches: Straws, parasols, colorful paper wraps for ice creams.

Decorate with ice cream balloons: Start with a large rectangular piece of
construction paper in yellow or orange and form the paper into a cone, and tape
it into place. Top with an ordinary balloon threaded through the cone on a string
to stay in place. Choose ice cream colors for the balloons, such as pink for
strawberry ice cream and green for mint. Use a Sharpie to make mint chips or
marble swirls.
