School is out and the kids are running wild at home! It’s at this point in the summer when you may be looking for some more activities to occupy them with after they’ve exhausted playing with all their toys and watching every movie you own. They’ve kicked the soccer ball one too many times into your front window and have dented your garage doors with a few too many hockey pucks. Well, surround your kitchen island with these crazy kids and make a special treat that they can share with their friends when they go back outside to play. Lollipops are a basic treat but when they are made at home, they are absolutely beautiful! Your kids won’t believe what they will create with this fun summer holiday activity.
