Frugal Summer Fun with Kids: Make Ice Cream in a Bag

National Ice Cream Day is always the 3rd Sunday of July so this year that will be 7/22!   Momondealz’s has provided us with a fun Ice Cream in a Bag recipe for this special day!

Materials:
Rock Salt-6 tablespoons
Vanilla-1/4 teaspoon (we also made some with lime juice and it was yummy)
Ice Cubes
Sugar-1/2 tablespoon
Milk-1/2 cup
Big Ziploc Bag
Small Ziploc Bag

Directions:
1. Combine milk, sugar, and vanilla or lime into small ziploc bag and seal.

2. Combine ice and rock salt into big ziploc bag.

3. Insert small bag into big bag and seal the big bag.

4. Shake for 3-4 minutes and the mixture will harden into an ice cream treat!

Educational Activities:

  • Science: Discuss the difference between liquids and solids and how the states of matter can change back and forth.
  • Math: Have your child complete the measuring in this activity. Have your child compare and contrast different measuring tools and various sizes.
  • Language Arts: Focus on the letter I and do a search around the house for other things that start with I. You can also see how many words they can create with the letters from the words “ice cream”.
