homemade ice cream.

it's spring break this week.
i wish i can tell you we've had a week filled with crafts and activities.
instead, we've done one craft.
or activity?

we made homemade ice cream.
in a bag.

for real.

i got the recipe and instructions from kaboose.com.
it was SO simple.
the kids did it!

ready to be a hero to your kiddos???




you'll need:

a gallon sized ziploc bag,

a sandwich size ziploc bag,

enough ice to fill the gallon size bag,

6 Tbls. rock salt,

1/2 cup half and half

1 Tbls. sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract


this is what you do:

fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. seal the bag.

put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.

place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.

shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.

wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. enjoy!
