How to Make Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag

Materials Needed for Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag:

1 gallon sized resealable bag,

1 quart sized resealable bag,

1/2 c Milk

1/ 1/2-2 tbsp. sugar,

1tsp. vanilla extract or cocoa powder,

2 trays of ice cubes,

6 tbsp. of salt or rock salt (the more salt the colder it can get)

winter mittens or oven mitts

Optional: fruits, chocolate chips, syrups or added extracts

This makes a small amount of ice cream but kids love it if you would like to make ice cream in a snap! Kids hands may often get tired shaking the bag so it's best to take turns!

What a great way to have fun with math, measuring and pouring! It's a great science activity because it incorporates all the five senses as well!

Have a great time and enjoy!
