Just pop the bowl in the freezer, find a quick no cook icecream recipe online and there are tons of them, and have fun. No rock salt neede...
Cuisinart 1.5 Qt Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker

TOUWMX Bento Box 4 Pack, 3 Compartments
We keep these in the freezer year round. Yes it's sugary, but it doesn't hurt to have one or two a day, it counts as hydration (or at least it does in my mind lol) They're only little once, though us adults like them too. they're fun to eat by the po...

I had a different version of these when my kids were little and I was the coolest mom in the area when we had friends over to play vidoe games, eat chips and icecream when it was too hot to play outside. I was that mom lol

These are some thing we've done with our kids and family over the years. Some are messy, some are competitive, some are quiet busy work to keep young minds occupied outside of social media.
My great niece loves her personal spash pad so I had to reccommend it. If you have littles at home, a space for a small splash pad, then here's a fun early afternoon treat (while the sun isn't too bad) for your kiddos
VISTOP Non-Slip Splash Pad 67in Blue
My kids had a water play table similar to this one. We donated it to the church when they outgrew it. We had a lot of fun. If it was cold or bad weather out then we put it in the kitchen on a tarp. Lots of year round fun.
Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table
Yes we did! A great answer to mom I'm bored and to get them to disconnect from social media to play outside. We always had a ton of outside activities for our sons to keep them busy during the summer. We couldn't afford vacations when they were little, so staycations were the norm. They were also homeschooled so we were never on a set schedule.
