Spaghetti Ice Cream Maker
What it is: A handy gadget that turns ice cream into a simulated italian meal to entertain the kids.
Why we love it: Let's face it, kids are weird. They think Yu-Gi-Oh is the height of entertainment, they will go to almost any lengths to avoid brushing their teeth, and they will eat almost anything, as long as it's shaped like something else. The childhood fascination with food shaped like other things may be somewhat mystifying to adults, but whether we understand it, it's clear, take a cake and make it look like a garden full of worms, or turn a pancake into Mickey Mouse and kids will, well, eat it up. We've mentioned before that we're all for indulging children in their flights of fancy, and we think the dinner table should be no exception. The Spaghetti Ice Cream Maker comes with everything you need to turn ice cream, white chocolate and strawberries into a delicious... spaghetti dinner. Just send the ice cream through the handy gadget and you can create spaghetti, lasagna and for variety, even asparagus. It may not be the most nutritious meal they've ever eaten, but we can assure you it will be well received. If you want to make a full project out of it, you can even pick up their recipe book for handmade ice cream, though the store bought stuff will work just as well.
Who we'd give it to: Kids, obviously, and parents who like Cooking with Kids, and even the occasional grown up Sweet Tooths.
Where to get it: From The Spaghetti Ice Cream Company for a secretly sweet $22.95
